Weather Briefing
VFRKenneth Kaunda International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 2.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 5 knots. Runway 15/33 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4500 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 29°C (84°F) with a dewpoint of 19°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Kenneth Kaunda International Airport
Overview
Kenneth Kaunda International Airport serves as the primary international aviation gateway for Lusaka, Zambia. Located at an elevation of 3,779 feet mean sea level, this large airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the region. The airport is identified by ICAO code FLLS and features two distinct runways supporting various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Situated at a relatively high elevation of 3,779 feet, pilots should anticipate potential performance considerations related to density altitude, particularly during warmer periods. The airport's geographical location suggests potential variability in meteorological conditions typical of southern African atmospheric patterns. The two runways (10/28 and 15/33) offer operational flexibility depending on prevailing wind conditions.
Notable Features
The primary runway 10/28 is a substantial 12,998-foot asphalt surface, capable of accommodating large commercial and cargo aircraft. The secondary runway 15/33 is a shorter 2,700-foot grass surface, likely used for smaller aircraft or auxiliary operations. The airport's coordinates at -15.330833, 28.452722 place it in a region with potentially complex terrain and atmospheric dynamics.
Approach Considerations
Approach planning should consider the substantial length of runway 10/28, which provides significant landing and takeoff margins for most aircraft types. The dual runway configuration allows for wind-adaptive operations, with 10/28 being the primary instrument runway. Pilots should carefully assess current meteorological conditions and runway surface characteristics when planning arrivals or departures.
