Weather Briefing
MVFRKhalkhalah Air Base is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 20,000 feet and 7 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (80°) at 11 knots. Runway 07/25 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 20,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 9°C, indicating very dry conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 10:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.

About Khalkhalah Air Base
Khalkhalah Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the SY AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Khalkhalah Air Base is a medium airport located in Buraq, Syria, positioned at coordinates 33.077301, 36.558208. Situated at an elevation of 2310 feet mean sea level, the airport serves as a strategic aviation facility in the region. Its two substantial asphalt runways provide critical infrastructure for military and potentially civilian aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 2310 feet MSL suggests potential temperature and density altitude considerations for pilots, particularly during warmer seasons. The two parallel runways (07/25 and 15/33) with significant lengths of 9995 feet and 9190 feet respectively offer operational flexibility across different wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential terrain-influenced wind patterns typical of the Syrian geographical region.
Notable Features
Khalkhalah Air Base features two extensive asphalt runways, providing robust operational capabilities for various aircraft types. The airport's geographic coordinates place it in a terrain that likely involves complex elevation changes and potential meteorological variability. The substantial runway lengths indicate the facility is designed to accommodate larger aircraft and potentially support diverse mission profiles.
Approach Considerations
Runway 07/25 and 15/33 provide complementary approach options with their significant lengths, allowing pilots flexibility in landing and takeoff procedures. The airport's elevation and geographic positioning suggest potential need for careful wind assessment during approach and departure phases. Pilots should conduct thorough preflight planning, considering the airport's specific elevation and potential local atmospheric conditions.
