About Jay Prakash Narayan Airport
Overview
Jay Prakash Narayan Airport serves Patna, the capital of Bihar state in eastern India. Located at an elevation of 170 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport provides critical regional air connectivity. The airport supports commercial and potentially military aviation operations in a strategically important urban center.
Flying Conditions
Pilots should anticipate challenging instrument meteorological conditions, with 93.2% of observations requiring instrument flight rules (IFR or LIFR). Winter months offer more favorable visual flight conditions, with January presenting optimal VFR opportunities. Prevailing westerly winds average 4.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 18 knots and calm conditions occurring in 33.8% of observations.
Notable Features
The single runway 07/25 is 6,410 feet long with an asphalt surface, accommodating medium-sized aircraft. The airport's geographic location suggests potential terrain variations and microclimatic influences typical of the Gangetic plains. Temperature variations range significantly from 7°C to 35°C, requiring careful pre-flight planning for performance considerations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 07/25 demonstrates consistently favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind of 2 knots. Visibility typically remains excellent at 10 statute miles, though fog occurs in 20.6% of observations. Pilots should particularly note the high proportion of instrument flight conditions when planning arrivals and departures.
