Weather Briefing
VFRIlam Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 8 knots. Runway 32 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 3°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.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: SA/DU. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 09:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with SA/DU.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Ilam Airport
Overview
Ilam Airport (OICI) is a medium-sized airport located in western Iran at an elevation of 4,404 feet MSL. Situated at coordinates 33.586601, 46.404800, the airport serves regional aviation needs in the Ilam province with a single runway (14/32) measuring 9,183 feet in length and constructed with an asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data indicates predominantly favorable visual flight conditions, with 88.1% of observations supporting VFR operations. The airport experiences a moderate temperature range from -8°C to 36°C, with an average of 13.4°C. Wind patterns are consistently from the southeast (135°) at an average of 5 knots, rarely exceeding 17 knots, with calm conditions occurring 2.2% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's significant elevation at 4,404 feet MSL requires careful performance calculations for aircraft operations. Runway 14/32 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind component of just 2.4 knots. Visibility is typically excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal instances of reduced visibility.
Approach Considerations
Seasonal flying is most favorable during autumn months (September, October, November), which offer the most consistent VFR conditions. Runway 14/32's lengthy 9,183-foot asphalt surface provides ample landing and takeoff options. Pilots should anticipate southeastern wind patterns when planning approaches and be prepared for the airport's moderate elevation.
