Weather Briefing
VFRUbaydah Bin Al Jarrah Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (260°) at 6 knots. Runway 29 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 2°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. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: SA/DU. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 09:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with SA/DU. 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 Ubaydah Bin Al Jarrah Airport
Overview
Ubaydah Bin Al Jarrah Airport serves the Al Kut region in Iraq, functioning as a medium-sized airport at an elevation of 68 feet mean sea level. Located at coordinates 32.481998, 45.757099, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the surrounding area. Its two substantial runways support diverse aviation operations in this geographic region.
Flying Conditions
Situated at a low elevation of 68 ft MSL, the airport experiences minimal altitude-related performance considerations for aircraft. The two runways—one concrete (10,174 ft) and one asphalt (11,666 ft)—offer significant operational flexibility across different aircraft types and weather conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential regional temperature variations that could impact aircraft performance, particularly during seasonal transitions.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways (11L/29R and 11R/29L) with significant length, accommodating a wide range of aircraft categories. Its geographical positioning in Al Kut suggests potential interactions with local terrain and regional meteorological patterns. The substantial runway lengths provide operational advantages for various aircraft weight classes and approach scenarios.
Approach Considerations
Runway orientation (11L/29R and 11R/29L) suggests potential wind alignment considerations for approach and departure procedures. The extended runway lengths of 10,174 and 11,666 feet provide generous margins for most aircraft operational requirements. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments consistent with the airport's geographical location when planning approaches.
