Weather Briefing
VFRStavropol Shpakovskoye Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (340°) at 6 knots. Runway 07/25 is favored with a 0-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 15°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: Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 09:00Z and 18:00Z.
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 Stavropol Shpakovskoye Airport
Overview
Stavropol Shpakovskoye Airport serves the Stavropol region in southern Russia, positioned at an elevation of 1,486 feet above mean sea level. The airport supports medium-scale aviation operations with a substantial 8,530-foot asphalt runway capable of handling various aircraft types. Its strategic location near 45.109200N, 42.112801E provides critical transportation infrastructure for the surrounding area.
Flying Conditions
Pilots should anticipate highly variable visual conditions, with only 52.1% of observations supporting standard VFR operations. Significant low-visibility periods occur, with 25.7% of observations reporting LIFR conditions and 33.3% experiencing fog events. Temperature ranges widely from -12°C to 26°C, suggesting potential icing and thermal variation challenges during different seasons.
Notable Features
The airport's elevated terrain at 1,486 feet MSL indicates potential orographic influences on local weather patterns. Surrounding geographic characteristics may contribute to the complex visibility and meteorological conditions observed in the METAR data. Pilots should be prepared for potential terrain-induced weather variations that could impact approach and departure procedures.
Approach Considerations
The single runway (07/25) provides flexibility for landing operations, though specific wind data suggests minimal directional preference. September, October, and January offer the most consistent VFR conditions, potentially representing optimal periods for general aviation activities. Pilots should carefully review current meteorological reports, given the significant variability in visual flight conditions at this location.
