Weather Briefing

VFR

Nasosnaya Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 6,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 8 knots. Runway 17/35 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 6,000 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 6,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 17°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 5 to 18 knots. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 12:00Z and 16:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 16:00Z and 19:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 21:00Z and 02:00Z.

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 Nasosnaya Air Base

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

Overview

Nasosnaya Air Base (UB12) is a medium airport located near Sumqayit, Azerbaijan. Positioned at coordinates 40.591599, 49.557400, the airport sits at an unusual negative elevation of -13 ft mean sea level, which is notable for its unique geographic positioning.

Flying Conditions

The airport features a single runway (17/35) with a substantial length of 8,218 feet constructed of concrete surface. Given its coastal location, pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences that could impact visibility and wind conditions.

Notable Features

The airport's significant runway length of 8,218 feet provides operational flexibility for medium-sized aircraft. Its negative elevation suggests the airport is situated in a low-lying coastal region, which may introduce specific atmospheric and terrain considerations for pilots during approach and departure.

Approach Considerations

With a runway oriented at 17/35, pilots should be prepared for approaches aligned approximately north-south. The substantial runway length of 8,218 feet offers considerable margin for landing and takeoff, accommodating a range of aircraft performance requirements.
