Weather Briefing

VFR

Chkalovskiy Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,700 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,700 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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 00:00Z and 03:00Z. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 10:00Z and 15:00Z.

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 Chkalovskiy Air Base

Chkalovskiy Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the RU AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Chkalovskiy Air Base is a medium-sized airport located near Moscow, Russia, situated at an elevation of 499 feet above mean sea level. The airport serves as an important military and potentially civil aviation facility in the Moscow region. Its strategic location and substantial runway infrastructure support various aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Located at 55.878300N, 38.061699E, Chkalovskiy experiences typical continental Russian weather patterns with significant seasonal variations. The airport's elevation of 499 ft MSL provides relatively stable atmospheric conditions for most aircraft operations. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature and wind variations consistent with the Moscow region's climate.

Notable Features

The airport features two substantial concrete runways: 12L/30R at 11,811 feet and 12R/30L at 9,842 feet in length. These extensive runway configurations accommodate a wide range of aircraft types and provide operational flexibility for different approach and departure scenarios. The dual runway system allows for potential wind-adaptive operational strategies.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientation of 12/30 suggests predominant wind approaches from northeast to southwest quadrants. The substantial runway lengths of 11,811 and 9,842 feet provide generous landing and takeoff margins for most aircraft classes. Pilots should anticipate standard approach procedures aligned with the runway headings and prepare for potential crosswind conditions typical of the Moscow region.
