About Nowshahr Airport
Overview
Nowshahr Airport serves the coastal region of Mazandaran Province in northern Iran, located near the Caspian Sea. Positioned at a unique below-sea-level elevation of -61 ft MSL, this medium-sized airport supports regional aviation operations with its primary 6,677 ft asphalted runway 10/28.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions (50.4%) with significant MVFR periods (39.2%). Temperature ranges from 2°C to 30°C, averaging 15.6°C, providing generally stable flying conditions. Wind patterns are consistently southerly at an average of 3.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 27 knots and minimal calm periods (1.8%).
Notable Features
Nowshahr's coastal location near the Caspian Sea suggests potential for maritime weather influences and potential rapid visibility or wind changes. The airport's negative elevation indicates a low-lying terrain environment, which may present unique atmospheric pressure and density altitude considerations for pilots during approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
Runway 10/28 offers highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind of 2.4 knots. January, November, and December represent the best months for consistent VFR flying conditions, providing optimal visual navigation opportunities for pilots operating at this airport.
