Weather Briefing
VFRVnukovo International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (360°) at 6 knots. Runway 01/19 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 12°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 24 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain, Light Showers Rain. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 21:00Z and 06:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 00:00Z and 06:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 16:00Z.
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 Vnukovo International Airport
Overview
Vnukovo International Airport serves as a major aviation hub in Moscow, Russia, located southwest of the city center. As one of Moscow's primary international airports, it handles significant commercial, cargo, and business aviation traffic. The airport sits at an elevation of 685 feet above mean sea level, with two substantial asphalt runways capable of supporting large aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Vnukovo demonstrate significant variability, with instrument flight rules (IFR) or lower conditions prevalent in 52.6% of observed METARs. Pilots should anticipate challenging visual conditions, particularly during non-summer months. Temperature ranges extensively from -18°C to 27°C, requiring careful consideration of aircraft performance and potential icing conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways: 01/19 at 10,039 feet and 06/24 at 11,483 feet, providing substantial operational flexibility. Its proximity to Moscow makes it strategically important for regional and international air traffic. The relatively flat terrain surrounding the airport supports predictable approach and departure paths.
Approach Considerations
While wind data in the provided statistics appears incomplete, pilots should prepare for potential instrument approaches given the high percentage of non-visual flight conditions. September through November represent the most favorable visual meteorological conditions, with lower probabilities of low ceilings and reduced visibility. Standard instrument approach procedures should be thoroughly reviewed before operations.
