Weather Briefing

MVFR

Tbilisi Soganlug Air Base is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,400 feet and 8 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (190°) at 6 knots. Runway 14/32 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 1700 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,700 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 16°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 30 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 10 to 30 knots. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 06:00Z and 10:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 10:00Z and 15:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 22:00Z and 06:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

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

About Tbilisi Soganlug Air Base

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

Overview

Tbilisi Soganlug Air Base (UG24) is a medium airport located in Tbilisi, Georgia, positioned at coordinates 41.649200, 44.936401. Situated at an elevation of 1250 ft mean sea level, this air base serves important regional aviation operations. Its strategic location makes it a significant facility in the Georgian aviation infrastructure.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 1250 ft MSL suggests moderate terrain conditions that can impact aircraft performance and approach characteristics. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature and density altitude variations that could affect aircraft capabilities, particularly during seasonal transitions. The concrete runway (14/32) measuring 8131 ft provides substantial landing and takeoff surface for most medium aircraft types.

Notable Features

Tbilisi Soganlug Air Base features a single runway (14/32) oriented in a northwest-southeast direction. The concrete runway's considerable length of 8131 ft allows for versatile operational capabilities across various aircraft classes. Its geographical position in the Tbilisi region implies potential interactions with surrounding terrain and regional atmospheric conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 14/32 provides bidirectional approach options with substantial runway length for safe operations. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments when planning approaches, considering the airport's 1250 ft elevation. Standard instrument approach procedures and local meteorological conditions will dictate specific landing and departure strategies.
