Weather Briefing
MVFRBassatine Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,600 feet and 8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (300°) at 10 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 1600 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 9°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions.
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 Bassatine Airport
Overview
Bassatine Airport serves the Meknes region in Morocco, situated at an elevation of 1,890 feet above mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the surrounding area, with two substantial asphalt runways capable of accommodating various aircraft types. Its strategic location offers important transportation and operational capabilities for the region.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 62.9% of observations showing clear flying conditions and an additional 34.8% in marginal VFR. Prevailing winds are from the south at an average of 7.6 knots, with occasional gusts up to 25 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from 2°C to 39°C, with an average of 15.2°C, which pilots should consider for performance calculations.
Notable Features
Both runways (08/26 and 09/27) offer extensive length, with 6,420 and 9,252 feet respectively, providing substantial operational flexibility. The airport's geographical coordinates at 33.879101, -5.515120 place it in a relatively flat terrain environment. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with consistent average crosswind conditions of 5 knots.
Approach Considerations
October, September, and November represent the most favorable VFR months for operations. With minimal fog (0.1% of observations) and consistently high visibility (average 10 statute miles), approach and landing conditions are generally excellent. The dual runway configuration allows for flexible wind-aligned approaches, with either 08/26 or 09/27 providing optimal landing options based on current wind conditions.
