Badr Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (280°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of -9°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Sand. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 8 to 20 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Sand between 09:00Z and 18:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Sand between 09:00Z and 12:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Badr Air Base

Badr Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the IR AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Badr Air Base is located near Esfahan, Iran, serving as a medium-sized airport at a significant elevation of 5,242 feet above mean sea level. The airport supports regional aviation operations with two asphalt runways, offering substantial infrastructure for military and potentially civilian aircraft movements.

Flying Conditions

At 5,242 feet MSL, Badr Air Base experiences altitude-related performance considerations for aircraft operations. The high elevation will impact aircraft climb performance, engine efficiency, and fuel consumption, requiring careful flight planning and weight management for incoming and departing aircraft.

Notable Features

The airport features two runways with significantly different lengths: 08L/26R at 10,920 feet and 08R/26L at 1,467 feet. The longer runway provides substantial operational flexibility, while the shorter runway may be more restrictive for certain aircraft types and operational requirements.

Approach Considerations

With runways oriented approximately 080/260 degrees, pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions during approach and landing. The longer 10,920-foot runway (08L/26R) provides the primary operational surface, offering ample length for most aircraft types operating at this elevation.
