Weather Briefing
VFRKrasnoyarsk International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (0°) at 0 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is -7°C (19°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. Temperatures are at or below freezing. Check for icing conditions and ensure aircraft anti-ice/de-ice systems are operational if required.
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. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 22:00Z and 01:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Krasnoyarsk International Airport
Overview
Krasnoyarsk International Airport serves as a critical aviation hub in central Siberia, strategically located in the Krasnoyarsk region of Russia. Positioned at an elevation of 942 feet above mean sea level, the airport facilitates both domestic and international air transportation in a challenging geographic region. Its substantial runway measuring 12,139 feet enables operations for large commercial and cargo aircraft.
Flying Conditions
The airport's location in Siberia results in significant seasonal weather variations that pilots must carefully consider. Winter conditions can produce extremely cold temperatures and potential snow/ice accumulation, while summer periods may present more stable atmospheric conditions. The airport's elevation at 942 ft MSL and geographic position suggest potential wind variability and potential mountain wave effects.
Notable Features
Krasnoyarsk International Airport features a single primary runway (11/29) with an asphalt surface, suitable for heavy aircraft operations. The airport's coordinates at 56.173077, 92.492437 indicate its placement in a continental landscape with potential terrain complexity surrounding the airport environment. Its classification as a large international airport suggests robust infrastructure and comprehensive operational capabilities.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29's substantial length of 12,139 feet provides significant operational flexibility for various aircraft types and approach scenarios. Prevailing wind patterns will influence runway selection, with pilots advised to obtain current meteorological data before approach. The airport's elevation and geographic context may require careful consideration of density altitude effects during takeoff and landing operations.
