Weather Briefing
VFRSpichenkovo Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 2 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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: Fog, Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Fog between 21:00Z and 00:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 00:00Z and 18:00Z.
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 Spichenkovo Airport
Overview
Spichenkovo Airport serves the Novokuznetsk region in Russia, located at an elevation of 1024 ft MSL. Positioned at coordinates 53.811401, 86.877197, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in southwestern Siberia. The airport features a single concrete runway (01/19) extending 8789 feet, capable of supporting various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data reveals significant variability in flight conditions, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating at 44.5% of observations. Marginal VFR conditions occur 32.9% of the time, while Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) are present in 17.3% of observations. Temperature ranges dramatically from -39°C to 26°C, with an average of -4.6°C, indicating challenging winter operations and substantial seasonal temperature fluctuations.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical location in the Siberian region suggests complex terrain and potential mountainous surrounding areas. With an elevation of 1024 ft MSL, pilots should anticipate potential terrain-related wind and visibility challenges. The concrete runway's substantial length of 8789 feet provides operational flexibility for various aircraft types.
Approach Considerations
While wind data shows insufficient directional information, the single runway (01/19) offers standard approach options. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility (fog present only 2.4% of observations). September through November represent the most consistent visual meteorological conditions, potentially offering the most predictable approach environment.
