Weather Briefing

VFR

Konya Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 10,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (360°) at 14 knots. Runway 01L/19R is favored with a 14-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 4,000 ft, scattered at 10,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 11°C, indicating moderate moisture 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 9 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 13:00Z and 15:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Konya Airport

Overview

Konya Airport serves as a medium-sized airport located in central Turkey at an elevation of 3392 ft MSL. Situated near the city of Konya, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region with two substantial parallel runways, each measuring 10,984 ft in length. Its strategic location and robust runway configuration support diverse aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with approximately 77.8% of observations supporting clear flying weather. The airport experiences moderate wind conditions, predominantly from the north at an average of 7 knots, with occasional gusts up to 27 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -12°C to 30°C, with an average of 8.9°C, suggesting potential need for seasonal operational adjustments.

Notable Features

The airport's twin parallel runways (01L/19R and 01R/19L) both offer identical favorable wind alignments and consistent crosswind characteristics of approximately 3.3 knots. Located at coordinates 37.979000, 32.561901, the airport sits in a region with relatively predictable meteorological conditions. Both runways are paved (one asphalt, one concrete), providing reliable surface conditions for aircraft operations.

Approach Considerations

September through November represent the most favorable VFR months for arrivals and departures. With consistent wind patterns from the north and excellent average visibility of 10 statute miles, pilots can expect generally stable approach conditions. The low occurrence of fog (6.9% of observations) and minimal instances of visibility restrictions below 3 miles contribute to reliable navigational predictability.
