Weather Briefing
MVFRTabas Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with clear skies and 8 km visibility. Note: This observation is 144.6 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (350°) at 5 knots with gusts to 19 knots. Runway 33 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component (gusting to 6 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 42°C (108°F) with a dewpoint of 4°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.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Tabas Airport
Overview
Tabas Airport serves the city of Tabas in Iran, situated at an elevation of 2,312 feet above mean sea level. The airport features a single runway (15/33) that extends 9,977 feet with an asphalt surface, capable of supporting medium airport operations. Its geographical coordinates at 33.667801, 56.892700 place it in a strategic location for regional air transportation.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 84.4% of observations indicating clear flying weather. Wind patterns are consistently from the north, averaging 5.4 knots with occasional gusts up to 18 knots. Temperature ranges from 3°C to 37°C, with an average of 16.9°C, providing generally stable flying conditions throughout the year.
Notable Features
The airport's terrain and elevation suggest a semi-arid environment typical of central Iran. Runway 15/33 demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of just 3.3 knots. November, December, and September represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for aviation operations.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect excellent visibility conditions, with an average visibility of 10 statute miles and no recorded instances of visibility below 3SM. The runway's substantial 9,977-foot length provides ample space for approach and landing. Prevailing northerly winds suggest runway 15/33 will typically offer the most straightforward approach conditions.
