About Solapur Airport

Overview

Solapur Airport serves the urban region of Solapur in Maharashtra, India, positioned at an elevation of 1,584 feet above mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway (15/33) measuring 6,591 feet and constructed of bituminous surface, it supports regional aviation operations in the southeastern part of Maharashtra.

Flying Conditions

Weather observations indicate predominantly Marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions, with 92.3% of recorded METARs falling in this category. The airport experiences a warm climate with average temperatures around 30.5°C, ranging from 19°C to 37°C. Winds are predominantly from the northeast at 45 degrees, averaging 5.7 knots with occasional peaks up to 14 knots, and calm conditions occurring 7.1% of the time.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (15/33) is oriented to align favorably with prevailing winds, with wind conditions supporting operations 100% of the time. The geographical coordinates (17.628000, 75.934799) place the airport in a region with generally stable meteorological conditions. Crosswind components average a modest 3.9 knots, which should be manageable for most aircraft operations.

Approach Considerations

January, September, and October represent the most favorable months for visual flight rules (VFR) operations, with consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles. The runway's length and surface type accommodate medium-sized aircraft, and the predictable wind patterns provide reliable approach conditions. Pilots should anticipate MVFR conditions and prepare accordingly with appropriate navigation and communication protocols.
