Weather Briefing
LIFRVitebsk Vostochny Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 300 feet and 3 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (20°) at 6 knots with gusts to 12 knots. Runway 06/24 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component (gusting to 8 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 3 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is very low at 300 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 10°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Vitebsk Vostochny Airport
Overview
Vitebsk Vostochny Airport serves the city of Vitebsk in Belarus, functioning as a medium-sized airport situated at 682 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 55.126499, 30.349600, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the eastern region of Belarus. Its single runway (06/24) extends 8,550 feet and is surfaced with asphalt.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data reveals challenging flying conditions, with nearly 77.3% of observations requiring instrument flight rules (IFR or LIFR). Extreme temperature variations range from -23°C to 25°C, with an average temperature of 2.4°C. Visibility typically remains good at an average of 10 statute miles, though fog occurs in 10.1% of observations.
Notable Features
The airport's elevation at 682 feet MSL indicates a relatively moderate terrain environment. September through November represent the most favorable visual flight conditions, offering pilots the highest probability of clear weather. The runway's orientation (06/24) suggests potential for direct crosswind exposures depending on regional wind patterns.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate predominantly instrument meteorological conditions, with nearly 77.3% of observations requiring instrument flight rules. The extensive 8,550-foot runway provides substantial landing and takeoff flexibility. Given the significant variation in visibility and temperature, thorough preflight planning and current meteorological briefings are critically important for safe operations.
