Weather Briefing
VFRCherepovets Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (0°) at 0 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 11°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 9 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Fog. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Fog between 21:00Z and 03:00Z.
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 Cherepovets Airport
Overview
Cherepovets Airport serves the industrial city of Cherepovets in northwestern Russia, located approximately 400 kilometers northeast of St. Petersburg. As a medium-sized airport situated at 377 feet above mean sea level, it supports regional transportation needs in the Vologda Oblast region. The airport provides critical connectivity for industrial and commercial operations in this part of Russia.
Flying Conditions
Pilots should anticipate variable flight conditions, with instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) predominating across the annual cycle. Observation data indicates IFR conditions occur 37.3% of the time, with MVFR conditions present 27.1% of the time. Temperature ranges dramatically from -22°C to 24°C, suggesting significant seasonal weather variations that demand comprehensive pre-flight planning and appropriate aircraft preparation.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (03/21) measuring 8,202 feet constructed of concrete, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographic coordinates at 59.273602, 38.015800 place it in a northern latitude with potential for challenging winter meteorological conditions. The relatively flat terrain surrounding Cherepovets suggests minimal terrain-induced turbulence or complex approach considerations.
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the most favorable VFR months for arrivals and departures, with more predictable weather patterns. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with fog present in approximately 5.1% of observations. While wind data appears incomplete in the provided statistics, pilots should conduct thorough preflight wind assessments and be prepared for potential instrument approach requirements.
