Weather Briefing

MVFR

Kursk East Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,700 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southeast (140°) at 8 knots. Runway 12/30 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2700 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 10°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 9 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.

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

About Kursk East Airport

Overview

Kursk East Airport serves the Kursk region in western Russia, positioned at an elevation of 686 feet MSL. Located at coordinates 51.750599, 36.295601, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area, supporting various flight operations with its substantial 8,202-foot concrete runway.

Flying Conditions

Pilots should anticipate variable flight conditions throughout the year, with significant diversity in weather patterns. Statistical data reveals a complex meteorological environment: 36.3% VFR days, 18.2% MVFR, 20.4% IFR, and 25.1% LIFR conditions, indicating potential challenging flying scenarios. Temperature ranges dramatically from -23°C to 29°C, with an average of 1.8°C, suggesting substantial seasonal variation.

Notable Features

The airport's runway 12/30 offers a considerable 8,202-foot concrete surface, providing substantial operational flexibility for different aircraft types. While wind data appears incomplete in the provided statistics, the airport's geographic location in the Kursk region suggests potential terrain and regional wind interaction that pilots should investigate during preflight planning.

Approach Considerations

September and October demonstrate the most favorable VFR conditions, presenting optimal months for visual approaches. Pilots should note the 8.8% fog occurrence rate and prepare accordingly, particularly during periods with lower visibility. The comprehensive visibility average of 10 statute miles provides generally good visual conditions, but the significant percentage of IFR and LIFR days necessitates thorough preflight weather assessment.
