Weather Briefing
VFRNakhchivan Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 8,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (310°) at 16 knots. Runway 32 is favored with a 16-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 8300 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 4,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 7°C, indicating relatively dry conditions.
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. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain, Light Showers Rain. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 4 to 18 knots. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 10:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 10:00Z and 16:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 20:00Z and 04:00Z.
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 Nakhchivan Airport
Overview
Nakhchivan Airport serves the autonomous republic of Nakhchivan, located in Azerbaijan's exclave region. As a medium airport situated at 2,863 feet MSL, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this geographically isolated area. The airport features two substantial runways, each 10,826 feet long, capable of handling diverse aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 57.4% of observations in visual flight rules and an additional 27% in marginal VFR. The airport experiences moderate wind conditions, with prevailing northerly winds averaging 6.2 knots and occasional gusts up to 36 knots. Seasonal temperature variations are significant, ranging from -14°C to 34°C, with an average of 7.8°C.
Notable Features
The airport's elevated position at 2,863 feet MSL suggests potential terrain interaction and potential orographic effects. Both runways (14L/32R and 14R/32L) demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with consistently low average crosswind conditions at 3.9 knots. Visibility is generally excellent, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal fog occurrence (1.6% of observations).
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the most consistent VFR flying months, offering optimal approach conditions. The dual runway configuration provides operational flexibility, with near-identical wind characteristics. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature-related performance considerations given the wide thermal range and moderate elevation.
