Weather Briefing
MVFRYelizovo Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (190°) at 6 knots. Runway 16L/34R is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 10°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 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: Volcanic Ash, Light Showers Rain, Mist. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Volcanic Ash between 21:00Z and 00:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain, Mist between 23:00Z and 03:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Yelizovo Airport
Overview
Yelizovo Airport serves Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, located in the far eastern region of Russia. As a medium-sized airport with three runways, it is the primary aviation gateway to the Kamchatka Peninsula, supporting regional and international operations at an elevation of 131 feet mean sea level.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions 75% of the time, with Marginal VFR occurring in 11.6% of observations. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -23°C to 20°C, with an average of -0.5°C. September, October, and November represent the most favorable VFR months for operations.
Notable Features
The airport features three runways: a shorter 735-foot asphalt surface (12/30) and two longer concrete runways measuring 11,155 feet (16L/34R) and 8,235 feet (16R/34L). Its geographic location in the Kamchatka Peninsula suggests potential for complex terrain and maritime weather influences that pilots should carefully consider during flight planning.
Approach Considerations
With consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles and minimal fog occurrence (0.6%), approaches to Yelizovo Airport generally present favorable conditions. While wind data in the provided statistics appears incomplete, pilots should review current meteorological information and NOTAMs for the most accurate approach considerations.
Data Sources & Accuracy: Airport information sourced from OurAirports.com, a collaborative database of worldwide airport data. Weather data from official aviation weather services including NOAA Aviation Weather Center and international METAR/TAF providers. Information is updated regularly but pilots should always verify current conditions and NOTAMs through official channels before flight operations.
