IFRGelendzhik Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,600 feet and 2 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 10 knots. Runway 19 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 2 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. 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 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 10°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
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 Thunderstorm Rain, Light Showers Rain, Fog. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 15:00Z and 20:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain, Fog between 20:00Z and 05:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 06:00Z and 15:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Gelendzhik Airport
Overview
Gelendzhik Airport serves the Black Sea resort city of Gelendzhik in southern Russia. Positioned at 44.582093°N, 38.012481°E, the airport operates as a medium-sized facility with a significant elevation of 98 feet above mean sea level. Its strategic location provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Krasnodar Krai region.
Flying Conditions
The airport's coastal location near the Black Sea suggests variable maritime weather conditions with potential for rapid changes. Pilots should anticipate local atmospheric influences from proximity to mountainous terrain and marine environments. Seasonal variations can significantly impact wind patterns and visibility.
Notable Features
Gelendzhik Airport features a single concrete runway (01/19) with an impressive length of 10,171 feet, accommodating a wide range of aircraft types. The terrain surrounding the airport includes complex coastal and mountainous landscapes, which can create unique aerodynamic challenges for approaching and departing aircraft. Its elevation at 98 feet MSL provides a relatively moderate operational environment.
Approach Considerations
Runway 01/19's substantial length provides flexibility for various aircraft operations and approach scenarios. Given the airport's coastal positioning, pilots should be prepared for potential wind shear and turbulence, particularly during seasonal transitional periods. Standard instrument approach procedures will be crucial for safe navigation in this geographic context.
