Weather Briefing
VFRMuwaffaq Salti Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (310°) at 8 knots. Runway 31 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 0°C, indicating very dry conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 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: Blowing Dust. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 5 to 20 knots. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Blowing Dust between 12:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Muwaffaq Salti Air Base
Muwaffaq Salti Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the JO AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Muwaffaq Salti Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in Al Azraq, Jordan, serving military and potentially strategic aviation operations. Situated at an elevation of 1706 feet above mean sea level, the base provides critical infrastructure in the region with its geographical coordinates at 31.825600N, 36.782001E.
Flying Conditions
The airport's high elevation at 1706 ft MSL suggests potential temperature and density altitude variations that pilots must consider during flight planning. With two substantial asphalt runways - one 9015 feet long (08/26) and another 9777 feet long (13/31) - the airport can accommodate a wide range of aircraft types and operational requirements.
Notable Features
The base features two parallel-oriented runways with significantly different headings, allowing operational flexibility based on prevailing wind conditions. The substantial runway lengths (over 9000 feet) indicate the airport is designed to support larger aircraft and potentially serve as a strategic aviation hub in the region.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should carefully analyze wind direction when selecting runway 08/26 or 13/31, as the different runway orientations provide options for crosswind mitigation. The extended runway lengths provide additional safety margins for approach and landing, particularly important given the airport's elevated terrain and potential regional environmental challenges.
