About Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport
Overview
Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport serves Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, as a medium-sized international airport. Located at 410 ft MSL with coordinates 26.760599, 80.889297, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for a major metropolitan region in northern India. Its single runway (09/27) extends 8,996 feet and is constructed with a PEM (Portland Embankment Material) surface.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate challenging flight conditions, with 85.1% of recorded METARs requiring instrument flight rules (IFR or LIFR). Prevailing westerly winds average 5 knots but can reach up to 67 knots, suggesting potential wind shear considerations. Temperature variations range from 5°C to 36°C, with an average of 20.1°C, reflecting significant seasonal temperature fluctuations that pilots must anticipate.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (09/27) demonstrates near-perfect wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. Crosswinds average only 2.2 knots, providing relatively stable approach and departure environments. Visibility is consistently good, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal instances of visibility below 3 miles, though fog occurs in 12.5% of observations.
Approach Considerations
January, September, and October represent the most favorable VFR months for operations. Pilots should be prepared for predominantly instrument meteorological conditions, with over 85% of observations requiring instrument flight rules. The runway's generous 8,996-foot length provides ample landing and takeoff options across varied weather conditions.
