Weather Briefing

VFR

Ashgabat Bezmein Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 10,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 6 knots. Runway 15/33 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 10,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 7°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.

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: Drifting Dust. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 12:00Z and 16:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Drifting Dust between 06:00Z and 12:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Ashgabat Bezmein Air Base

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

Overview

Ashgabat Bezmein Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in Turkmenistan, situated near the capital city of Ashgabat. Positioned at an elevation of 920 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves as a strategic aviation facility in the region. Its coordinates at 38.012001, 58.195000 place it in a critical geographic location for regional air operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 920 ft MSL suggests a moderate altitude environment with potential for temperature and density altitude variations. Pilots should anticipate typical Central Asian continental climate conditions, which can include significant temperature fluctuations between seasons. The concrete runway (15/33) measuring 8,665 feet provides substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for various aircraft types.

Notable Features

The single runway (15/33) is oriented in a northwest-southeast direction, which can influence wind patterns and approach strategies. Its substantial length of 8,665 feet accommodates a wide range of aircraft, from medium-sized commercial to potential military transport operations. The concrete surface indicates a well-maintained runway infrastructure suitable for consistent operational demands.

Approach Considerations

Runway 15/33 offers flexibility for approaches depending on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should carefully evaluate wind direction and strength when planning landings, utilizing the runway's full 8,665-foot length. The airport's moderate elevation and concrete surface provide relatively stable approach and landing characteristics for most aircraft classifications.
