Weather Briefing
IFRBaku Kala Air Base is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 13 knots. Runway 36 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 800 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.

About Baku Kala Air Base
Baku Kala 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
Baku Kala Air Base (UB18) is a medium airport situated in Azerbaijan at coordinates 40.408409, 50.200287, near the city of Baku. Located at a low elevation of 40 ft mean sea level, the airport serves regional aviation operations with its substantial runway infrastructure. The airbase provides critical aviation capabilities in this strategic Caspian Sea region.
Flying Conditions
Positioned at a low elevation of 40 ft MSL, Baku Kala experiences relatively stable atmospheric conditions typical of Azerbaijan's coastal climate. The single runway (18/36) extends 8,670 feet and is constructed of concrete, which supports reliable year-round operations. Pilots can expect generally consistent surface conditions due to the airport's low-altitude coastal positioning.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway oriented 18/36, providing directional flexibility for aircraft movements. With a substantial runway length of 8,670 feet, the airbase can accommodate medium to large aircraft types. The concrete runway construction suggests robust surface integrity and reliable ground handling capabilities.
Approach Considerations
Runway 18/36 offers approximately 8,670 feet of usable landing surface, providing substantial operational flexibility for arriving and departing aircraft. Given the runway's orientation, wind conditions will significantly influence approach and departure procedures. Pilots should anticipate standard approach protocols consistent with the airport's medium classification and coastal geographic context.
