Weather Briefing
MVFRBilbeis Air Base is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 7,000 feet and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (320°) at 6 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 7000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 11°C, indicating relatively dry conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
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 Bilbeis Air Base
Bilbeis Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the EG AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Bilbeis Air Base (HE37) is a medium airport located near Bilbeis, Egypt, situated at 30.394899, 31.601400 with an elevation of 90 feet mean sea level. The airport serves as a significant aviation facility with multiple runways, supporting various aviation operations in the region.
Flying Conditions
Located at a low elevation of 90 ft MSL, Bilbeis Air Base experiences typical Egyptian climate conditions with potential heat and humidity variations. The airport's multiple runways (04/22, 09L/27R, 09R/27L, 17L/35R, 17R/35L) provide operational flexibility across different wind conditions, with runway lengths ranging from 5,100 to 11,480 feet.
Notable Features
The airport features five asphalt (ASP) runways with substantial length variations, allowing for diverse aircraft operations. Its geographic positioning near the Nile Delta region suggests potential terrain considerations for approach and departure procedures, with relatively flat surrounding landscape typical of the Egyptian terrain.
Approach Considerations
With five runways oriented in different directions (04/22, 09L/27R, 09R/27L, 17L/35R, 17R/35L), pilots have multiple options for approach and landing based on prevailing wind conditions. The longest runway (04/22 at 11,480 feet) provides significant operational capability for larger aircraft and offers extended landing and takeoff options.
