Weather Briefing
MVFRShahid Sadooghi Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with clear skies and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 22°C (72°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 9 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Shahid Sadooghi Airport
Overview
Shahid Sadooghi Airport serves the city of Yazd in central Iran, positioned at an elevation of 4054 feet MSL. This medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region, connecting Yazd with other domestic and potentially regional destinations. Its substantial runway of 13,446 feet supports a variety of aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Shahid Sadooghi are predominantly visual flight rules (VFR), with 56.1% of observations supporting clear conditions. Marginal VFR occurs in 33.9% of cases, while instrument flight rules are less frequent. Winds are consistently from the southeast at an average of 4.5 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 31 knots, and calm conditions present 4.5% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's high elevation of 4054 feet requires pilots to consider density altitude effects, particularly during warmer months when temperatures can reach up to 40°C. The surrounding terrain is characteristic of central Iran's plateau region, with potential for thermal and wind variations. The single runway (13/31) provides consistent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 13/31 offers excellent wind alignment, with an average crosswind of just 2 knots. Pilots can expect generally stable approach conditions, with excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles. January, September, and November represent the most favorable months for visual flying, offering the most consistent weather patterns for arrivals and departures.
