About Silchar Airport

Overview

Silchar Airport serves the northeastern Indian city of Silchar in Assam state, functioning as a critical regional transportation hub. The airport supports medium-sized aircraft operations and provides essential connectivity to this geographically strategic location near the borders of Bangladesh and Myanmar.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 352 feet MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude environment with potential humidity and visibility variations typical of the northeastern Indian climate. Pilots should anticipate potential monsoon-related weather fluctuations that can impact flight operations during the wet season.

Notable Features

Silchar Airport features a single asphalt runway (06/24) measuring 5,993 feet in length, suitable for regional and medium-sized aircraft operations. The airport's geographical position in the hilly terrain of Assam necessitates careful terrain awareness and standard mountainous approach protocols.

Approach Considerations

The runway's 06/24 orientation suggests potential wind variability, requiring pilots to be prepared for crosswind landing techniques. Standard instrument approach procedures should be anticipated, with careful attention to the surrounding terrain and potential localized weather phenomena common in this mountainous region.
