Weather Briefing
VFRImam Khomeini International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 3,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 10.3 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (310°) at 18 knots. Runway 29 is favored with a 17-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 3,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of -4°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 8 to 20 knots. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 06:00Z and 12:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 12:00Z and 18:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 10:00Z and 16:00Z.
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 Imam Khomeini International Airport
Overview
Imam Khomeini International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Tehran, Iran, located at 35.416100, 51.152199. The airport is a large facility situated at an elevation of 3,305 feet mean sea level, providing critical air transportation infrastructure for the Tehran metropolitan region.
Flying Conditions
Tehran's airport elevation at 3,305 feet MSL introduces moderate altitude considerations for aircraft performance and approach planning. The two parallel asphalt runways (11L/29R at 13,772 ft and 11R/29L at 13,940 ft) offer substantial length to accommodate a wide range of aircraft types and operational conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways with significant lengths, allowing for complex aircraft operations and multiple approach configurations. Its geographical position near Tehran presents potential terrain interactions that pilots should carefully evaluate during approach and departure phases, particularly considering the elevated surrounding landscape.
Approach Considerations
Runway orientation (11/29) suggests potential wind alignment along the northeast-southwest axis. The extensive runway lengths of 13,772 and 13,940 feet provide substantial operational flexibility for diverse aircraft types, enabling safe landings and takeoffs under various meteorological conditions.
