Weather Briefing

IFR

Kailashahar Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,000 feet and 3 km visibility. Note: This observation is 10.9 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 3 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is reduced to 3 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 21°C, indicating relatively dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Kailashahar Airport

Overview

Kailashahar Airport serves the northeastern region of India, located in the state of Tripura. Positioned at an elevation of 79 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Kailashahar area. The airport supports regional connectivity and serves as an important aviation facility in this part of northeastern India.

Flying Conditions

The airport's relatively low elevation at 79 ft MSL suggests generally mild terrain conditions for approach and departure. Being situated in northeastern India, the region experiences significant monsoon seasons which can impact flying conditions, particularly during summer months. Pilots should anticipate potential precipitation and reduced visibility during monsoon periods.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (03/21) with an asphalt surface measuring 3,300 feet in length. Its geographic coordinates at 24.308657, 92.007680 place it in a region characterized by undulating terrain typical of northeastern India. The moderate runway length is suitable for regional aircraft operations and supports connectivity for smaller commercial and utility aircraft.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21 provides a standard orientation that may offer variations in wind exposure depending on prevailing meteorological conditions. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during pre-flight planning, noting the airport's moderate elevation and potential regional wind patterns. Standard approach procedures consistent with regional Indian aviation protocols should be anticipated.
