Weather Briefing
LIFRGorna Oryahovitsa Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,000 feet and 1.4 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the variable directions at 5 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 1.4 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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. 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: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 00:00Z and 07:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 10:00Z and 17:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

About Gorna Oryahovitsa Airport
Overview
Gorna Oryahovitsa Airport serves the central region of Bulgaria, located at an elevation of 285 ft MSL near the city of Gorna Oryahovitsa. As a medium-sized airport with a 8,038 ft concrete runway, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region's transportation and operational needs.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions 57.9% of the time, with MVFR and IFR conditions accounting for the remaining airspace characteristics. The airport experiences a wide temperature range from -13°C to 34°C, with an average of 8.3°C, and wind conditions typically from the west at an average of 6.7 knots, occasionally reaching up to 31 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (09/27) is optimally positioned with 100% favorable wind alignment and an average crosswind of just 2.2 knots. Its moderate elevation and geographic location suggest relatively stable terrain without significant complex topographical challenges for approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
September through November offer the most consistent VFR flying conditions, with minimal fog (8.1% occurrence) and typically excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles. Pilots should be prepared for potential wind variations, though calm conditions exist 18.6% of the time, providing relatively stable approach environments.
