Weather Briefing

MVFR

Nasosnaya Air Base is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 12 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1100 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 12°C (54°F) with a dewpoint of 10°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 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, Patches Fog. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 5 to 16 knots. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast between 06:00Z and 14:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Mist, Patches Fog between 00:00Z and 03:00Z.

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.

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

About Nasosnaya Air Base

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

Overview

Nasosnaya Air Base (UB12) is a medium airport located near Sumqayit, Azerbaijan. Positioned at coordinates 40.591599, 49.557400, the airport sits at an unusual negative elevation of -13 ft mean sea level, which is notable for its unique geographic positioning.

Flying Conditions

The airport features a single runway (17/35) with a substantial length of 8,218 feet constructed of concrete surface. Given its coastal location, pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences that could impact visibility and wind conditions.

Notable Features

The airport's significant runway length of 8,218 feet provides operational flexibility for medium-sized aircraft. Its negative elevation suggests the airport is situated in a low-lying coastal region, which may introduce specific atmospheric and terrain considerations for pilots during approach and departure.

Approach Considerations

With a runway oriented at 17/35, pilots should be prepared for approaches aligned approximately north-south. The substantial runway length of 8,218 feet offers considerable margin for landing and takeoff, accommodating a range of aircraft performance requirements.
