Weather Briefing
MVFRBaranavichi Air Base is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,000 feet and 5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (280°) at 17 knots with gusts to 27 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 15-knot crosswind component (gusting to 23 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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: Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 12:00Z and 15:00Z.
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.

About Baranavichi Air Base
Baranavichi Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the BY AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Baranavichi Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in Belarus at coordinates 53.099998, 26.049999. Positioned at sea level (0 ft MSL), the air base serves regional aviation operations in the central Belarusian region. Its strategic location and substantial runway length suggest it supports military and potentially some civilian aviation activities.
Flying Conditions
Situated at 0 ft MSL, Baranavichi experiences relatively consistent elevation conditions with minimal terrain-induced atmospheric variations. The airport's geographical position in Belarus indicates potential for variable weather patterns typical of Eastern European continental climate zones. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal temperature and wind variations that could impact flight operations.
Notable Features
The air base features a single runway (04/22) with a significant length of 9,836 feet constructed of concrete (CON). This extensive runway configuration supports a wide range of aircraft types and operational requirements. The runway's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing phases.
Approach Considerations
Runway 04/22's substantial 9,836-foot length provides ample space for diverse aircraft approach and landing scenarios. Given the runway's dimensions and sea-level elevation, pilots can expect relatively straightforward approach conditions. Wind assessment and runway selection should be conducted based on current meteorological data and prevailing wind directions.
