Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (180°) at 8 knots. Runway 09L/27R is favored with a 0-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 12000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 16°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.

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: Haze. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions between 10:00Z and 14:00Z.

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 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 Risalpur Air Base

Risalpur Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the PK AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Risalpur Air Base (OPRS) is a medium airport located in Risalpur, Pakistan, serving as a strategic military aviation facility. Situated at an elevation of 1050 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical infrastructure for aviation operations in the region.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect varied weather conditions typical of the northwest Pakistani climate, with potential temperature and wind variations throughout the year. The airport's elevation of 1050 ft MSL suggests moderate atmospheric conditions that generally support stable flight operations.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalt runways: 09L/27R measuring 5,840 feet and 09R/27L extending 9,085 feet. The substantial runway lengths provide flexibility for different aircraft types and operational requirements, with dual parallel runways offering operational redundancy.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientations of 09/27 suggest prevailing winds potentially influence landing and takeoff directions. Pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind conditions and utilize the longer 09R/27L runway when operational requirements and wind conditions permit.
