Weather Briefing
VFRAyatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 8 knots. Runway 34 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of -5°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. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 09:00Z and 15:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast 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.

About Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani International Airport
Overview
Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani International Airport serves the Kerman region in Iran as a medium-sized international airport. Located at an elevation of 5,741 feet MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the southeastern part of the country. Its two parallel asphalt runways, each approximately 12,600 feet long, support a range of commercial and potentially military aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 96.1% of observations indicating favorable visual flying weather. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -10°C to 36°C, with an average of 13.9°C. Wind patterns are characterized by a northerly prevailing direction at an average of 5.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 27 knots and calm conditions 13.7% of the time.
Notable Features
Situated at a high elevation of 5,741 feet, the airport presents potential performance considerations for aircraft operations. Both parallel runways (16L/34R and 16R/34L) demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with consistent average crosswind conditions of 3.6 knots. The airport's geographic position suggests potential terrain interactions that pilots should consider during approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
October, November, and September represent the most favorable VFR months for operations. The parallel runway configuration allows for flexible approach options, with consistent wind characteristics supporting predictable landing and takeoff conditions. Pilots should note the high elevation and prepare accordingly for potential performance limitations, particularly during temperature extremes.
