Weather Briefing

VFR

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

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northwest (310°) at 6 knots. Runway 33 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 14°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

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.

Positioned at coordinates 52.702801, 39.537800, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the surrounding urban and regional transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Lipetsk Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing 48.8% of the time. Pilots should anticipate potential instrument meteorological conditions, as MVFR, IFR, and LIFR conditions collectively represent 51.2% of observed weather patterns. Temperature ranges from -28°C to 30°C, with an average of 1.9°C, indicating substantial seasonal temperature fluctuations.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (15/33) with a substantial length of 7,546 feet, constructed of concrete. Its central Russian location suggests potential terrain variations typical of the regional landscape, though specific topographical details are not provided in the available data. The airport's elevation of 584 feet MSL indicates a relatively moderate terrain profile.

Approach Considerations

Based on the provided data, specific wind information is limited, preventing definitive runway preference recommendations. Pilots should expect generally stable visibility conditions, with an average visibility of 10 statute miles and minimal occurrences of restricted visibility. September and October appear to offer the most consistent VFR conditions, potentially providing optimal flying environments.
