Weather Briefing
MVFRKenitra Air Base is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,300 feet and 5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (340°) at 8 knots. Runway 03/21 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 2,300 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 00:00Z and 06:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Kenitra Air Base
Kenitra Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the MA AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Kenitra Air Base is a medium airport located in Kenitra, Morocco, serving the northwestern region of the country. Positioned at 34.298901, -6.595880 with an elevation of 16 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for military and potentially civilian operations. Its strategic coastal location near Rabat offers important regional transportation capabilities.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation of 16 ft MSL suggests minimal terrain-related turbulence and generally stable approach conditions. With two runways (03/21 and 07/25) offering lengths of 6,035 and 7,995 feet respectively, the airport provides flexible operational capabilities across different surface types including asphalt (ASP) and concrete (CON) surfaces. Local maritime proximity likely introduces potential for variable wind conditions.
Notable Features
Kenitra Air Base features two substantial runways with significantly different orientations, enabling operations across multiple wind directions. The 07/25 runway, at 7,995 feet, offers extended operational capacity for larger aircraft types. The airport's coastal positioning near the Atlantic suggests potential for maritime meteorological influences on local flying conditions.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations due to the airport's coastal location and dual runway configuration. The 07/25 runway, being longer, may offer preferred approach options for larger aircraft or during challenging wind conditions. Careful attention to local wind patterns and runway surface conditions is recommended during arrival and departure planning.
