Weather Briefing

VFR

Burgas Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (270°) at 3 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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. 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: Mist. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Mist between 00:00Z and 06:00Z.

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 Burgas Airport

Overview

Burgas Airport serves as a key regional airport located in eastern Bulgaria on the Black Sea coast. Situated at 135 feet mean sea level with coordinates 42.569917, 27.515173, the airport is classified as a large airport handling significant passenger and cargo traffic. Its strategic location makes it a crucial transportation hub for the Burgas region and coastal tourism.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal position introduces maritime weather influences with potential wind shear and rapid atmospheric changes. Elevation at 135 ft MSL provides relatively stable approach conditions, though pilots should anticipate potential sea breeze effects during summer months. Prevailing wind patterns can significantly impact runway 04/22 operations.

Notable Features

The airport features a substantial runway 04/22 measuring 10,499 feet long, constructed of concrete, which supports a wide range of aircraft types and sizes. Its geographic positioning near the Black Sea creates unique aeronautical considerations, including potential maritime microclimate effects and visibility variations. The concrete runway provides robust surface conditions for heavy aircraft operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/22's extensive length of 10,499 feet allows flexible approach and landing options for multiple aircraft categories. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and velocity when selecting runway orientation, with particular attention to potential crosswind components. The concrete runway surface supports stable landing characteristics across various meteorological conditions.
