Weather Briefing

MVFR

Khrabrovo Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (260°) at 19 knots with gusts to 29 knots. Runway 24 is favored with a 18-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component (gusting to 10 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1600 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,600 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 13°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 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: Light Showers Rain, Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 21:00Z and 09:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 21:00Z and 09:00Z.

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.

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

About Khrabrovo Airport

Overview

Khrabrovo Airport serves the Kaliningrad region in Russia, situated at 54.889999° N, 20.592600° E with an elevation of 42 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport, it supports regional and potentially international aviation operations in this strategically located Russian exclave between Poland and Lithuania.

Flying Conditions

Weather observations indicate variable flying conditions, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) present 41.4% of the time and Marginal VFR conditions occurring 26.6% of observations. Temperature ranges significantly from -17°C to 27°C, presenting potential seasonal operational challenges. Fog is present in 9.6% of observations, with consistently good average visibility of 10 statute miles.

Notable Features

The airport features a substantial concrete runway (06/24) measuring 10,991 feet in length, accommodating a wide range of aircraft types. Its location in the Kaliningrad region presents unique geographic considerations, being a Russian territory geographically separated from the main Russian landmass and surrounded by EU countries.

Approach Considerations

Seasonal data suggests September through November offer the most stable flying conditions for VFR operations. The runway's length and construction provide flexibility for various aircraft, though pilots should carefully review current meteorological conditions given the region's potentially variable weather patterns.
