Weather Briefing
VFRKayseri Erkilet Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (280°) at 12 knots. Runway 25 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 8°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 2 to 15 knots. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 20:00Z and 00:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 00:00Z and 04:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 13:00Z and 17:00Z.
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.

About Kayseri Erkilet Airport
Overview
Kayseri Erkilet Airport serves the central Anatolian region of Turkey, located at an elevation of 3,463 feet MSL near the city of Kayseri. As a medium-sized airport with a substantial 9,841-foot concrete runway, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional commercial and potential military operations in this strategically positioned area.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 68.8% of observations showing good visual flight rules. Wind patterns are consistently from the northeast at an average of 5.5 knots, with calm conditions occurring 20.1% of the time. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -18°C to 29°C, with an average of 6.5°C, which pilots should consider for performance calculations.
Notable Features
Situated at a moderate elevation of 3,463 feet, Kayseri Erkilet Airport's terrain requires careful altitude management during approach and departure. The single runway (07/25) is well-aligned with prevailing winds, with 100% wind favorability and an average crosswind component of only 2.7 knots, providing consistent and predictable landing conditions.
Approach Considerations
September, October, and November represent the most consistent VFR months for operations. With minimal low visibility events (only 1.3% fog occurrences) and typically excellent 10SM visibility, pilots can expect reliable approach conditions. The runway's substantial 9,841-foot length provides ample landing and takeoff performance for most aircraft types operating in this region.
