Weather Briefing

VFR

Shahid Vatanpour Army Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northwest (320°) at 6 knots. Runway 25 is favored with a 2-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 29°C (84°F) with a dewpoint of -7°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Sand. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 8 to 20 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Sand between 09:00Z and 18:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Sand between 09:00Z and 12:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Shahid Vatanpour Army Air Base

Shahid Vatanpour Army Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the IR AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Shahid Vatanpour Army Air Base (OIFH) is located in Esfahan, IR at an elevation of 5,310 feet MSL, making density altitude a consideration for performance planning. The airport has 2 runways (06/24, 07/25), with the longest at 4,095 feet.

Airport Overview

Shahid Vatanpour Army Air Base serves Esfahan in IR. As a smaller airfield, services may be limited. Pilots should verify fuel availability and operating hours before arrival. The airport features 2 runways (06/24, 07/25) with pem and gre surfaces. The longest runway measures 4,095 feet, adequate for light general aviation aircraft.

Elevation Considerations

At 5310 feet MSL, density altitude is an important consideration for flight planning, particularly during summer months. Performance calculations should account for the reduced air density at this elevation.

Flight Planning

For current NOTAMs and operational information, consult the local aviation authority publications. Weather data including METAR and TAF reports are typically available from nearby reporting stations if not directly from this airport. Before flight, verify current conditions through official channels and check appropriate aeronautical charts for the latest aeronautical information.

Weather Information

When METAR observations are not available directly from OIFH, pilots can reference weather from nearby airports shown above. Consider distance and terrain differences when using alternate weather sources. For official flight planning, always use approved weather briefing services.
