Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 11°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Wujah Al Hajar Air Base

Wujah Al Hajar Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the LB AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Wujah Al Hajar Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in Hamat, Lebanon, with the ICAO code Z19O. Situated at an elevation of 840 feet above mean sea level, this airport serves regional aviation needs in the northern Lebanese region. Its strategic location and concrete runway make it a significant infrastructure asset for local and potentially military aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 840 feet MSL suggests a moderate terrain environment that could experience varied weather conditions typical of the Lebanese coastal and mountain regions. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations given the airport's geographic positioning, which might influence approach and departure procedures. The concrete runway of 6000 feet provides a substantial landing surface suitable for medium-sized aircraft.

Notable Features

Wujah Al Hajar Air Base features a single runway (05/23) oriented in a northeast-southwest direction, which can accommodate significant aviation traffic. The concrete runway's length of 6000 feet enables operations for medium-sized aircraft and provides adequate runway distance for safe takeoffs and landings. The airport's coordinates (34.281226, 35.680096) place it in a terrain-diverse region with potential surrounding geographical complexities.

Approach Considerations

The 6000-foot concrete runway allows for flexible approach options, with runway 05 and 23 providing alternative landing directions based on wind conditions. Pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight planning to understand local terrain influences and potential wind patterns that might affect approach and landing strategies. Standard instrument approach procedures and terrain awareness are recommended when operating at this airport.
