Weather Briefing

VFR

Qazvin Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northeast (30°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 5°C (41°F) with a dewpoint of 2°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

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 Qazvin Airport

Overview

Qazvin Airport serves the Qazvin province in northwestern Iran, located at an elevation of 4,184 feet mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport with a single asphalt runway (10/28) measuring 3,670 feet, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and potential military/general aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Statistical data indicates predominantly favorable Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 73.1% of observations supporting clear flying weather. Wind patterns are consistent from the southeast (135°) at an average of 4.7 knots, with maximum recorded speeds of 27 knots. Temperature ranges broadly from -10°C to 37°C, suggesting significant seasonal temperature variations that pilots must account for in flight planning.

Notable Features

The airport's elevation of 4,184 feet presents moderate altitude considerations for aircraft performance. Situated at coordinates 36.240101, 50.047100, the airport is positioned in a region with potential terrain complexity typical of northwestern Iranian geography. Calm wind conditions occur in 15.9% of observations, which may impact takeoff and landing procedures.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28 demonstrates 100% favorable wind alignment, with an average crosswind of only 3 knots. September through November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Pilots should note minimal low visibility events, with fog present in only 1.1% of observations and less than 3 miles visibility occurring rarely.
