Weather Briefing
VFRQuesna Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies. Note: This observation is 1.4 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (340°) at 11 knots. Runway 34 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 14°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Mist. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Mist between 02:00Z and 07:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Quesna Airport
Overview
Quesna Airport (HE42) is a medium-sized airport located in the Nile Delta region of Egypt, near the city of Quesna. Positioned at coordinates 30.579000, 31.129200, the airport serves the local area with an elevation of 33 feet above mean sea level, providing aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation of 33 ft MSL indicates a relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Nile Delta region. Given its geographical location, pilots can expect typical Egyptian Delta climate conditions, which include hot summers and mild winters with generally stable atmospheric conditions.
Notable Features
Quesna Airport features a single asphalt runway (16/34) with a substantial length of 9,054 feet, accommodating a variety of aircraft types and operational requirements. The runway's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and departure, which pilots should carefully assess based on prevailing wind conditions.
Approach Considerations
The runway's length of 9,054 feet provides ample space for most aircraft operations, offering flexibility in landing and takeoff procedures. Pilots should be prepared for potential wind variations along the 16/34 runway heading, and plan approach strategies that account for the airport's low-elevation delta environment.
