Weather Briefing

MVFR

Khrabrovo Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with clear skies and 4.9 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (0°) at 0 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 4.9 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 6°C (43°F) with a dewpoint of 6°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 24 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: Fog, Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Fog between 21:00Z and 05:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 09:00Z and 21:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Khrabrovo Airport

Overview

Khrabrovo Airport serves the Kaliningrad region in Russia, situated at 54.889999° N, 20.592600° E with an elevation of 42 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport, it supports regional and potentially international aviation operations in this strategically located Russian exclave between Poland and Lithuania.

Flying Conditions

Weather observations indicate variable flying conditions, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) present 41.4% of the time and Marginal VFR conditions occurring 26.6% of observations. Temperature ranges significantly from -17°C to 27°C, presenting potential seasonal operational challenges. Fog is present in 9.6% of observations, with consistently good average visibility of 10 statute miles.

Notable Features

The airport features a substantial concrete runway (06/24) measuring 10,991 feet in length, accommodating a wide range of aircraft types. Its location in the Kaliningrad region presents unique geographic considerations, being a Russian territory geographically separated from the main Russian landmass and surrounded by EU countries.

Approach Considerations

Seasonal data suggests September through November offer the most stable flying conditions for VFR operations. The runway's length and construction provide flexibility for various aircraft, though pilots should carefully review current meteorological conditions given the region's potentially variable weather patterns.
