Weather Briefing

VFR

Peski Airfield is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 6 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 8°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 9 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Mist. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 21:00Z and 06:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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.

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

About Peski Airfield

Overview

Peski Airfield (ULPP) is located near Petrozavodsk in northwestern Russia, serving the Karelia region. As a medium airport situated at sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local area. The airport's single runway (05/23) is 2,295 feet long with an asphalt surface, accommodating smaller aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Positioned at 61.831944°N latitude, Peski Airfield experiences significant seasonal weather variations typical of the northern Russian climate. The airport's sea-level elevation minimizes altitude-related challenges for aircraft operations. Pilots should anticipate potential challenging conditions, particularly during winter months when arctic weather patterns can impact flying conditions.

Notable Features

The airport is situated in a relatively flat geographical region near Petrozavodsk, with coordinates suggesting proximity to Lake Onega. The single runway (05/23) orientation indicates potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. The asphalt surface provides standard operating capabilities for medium-sized aircraft in the region.

Approach Considerations

Runway 05/23's 2,295-foot length requires careful performance planning for aircraft approaches. Pilots should consider wind direction and potential crosswind components when selecting runway orientation. The sea-level elevation provides consistent atmospheric conditions without significant altitude-related performance considerations.
