About Dundigul Air Force Academy

Dundigul Air Force Academy is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the IN AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Dundigul Air Force Academy is a medium airport located in Hyderabad, India, serving as a critical training facility for Indian Air Force personnel. Situated at an elevation of 2013 feet mean sea level, the airport plays a significant role in military aviation education and training operations.

Flying Conditions

Given its inland location in Hyderabad and elevation of 2013 ft MSL, pilots can expect varied atmospheric conditions typical of the Deccan Plateau region. Temperature and wind variations can be significant, which may impact aircraft performance, particularly for larger aircraft utilizing the substantial runway lengths.

Notable Features

The airport features two distinct runways: a concrete runway (10L/28R) measuring 8250 feet, and an asphalt runway (10R/28L) measuring 6800 feet. These parallel runways provide operational flexibility and redundancy, allowing for different wind conditions and aircraft types to be accommodated efficiently.

Approach Considerations

The dual runway configuration with similar orientation (10/28) suggests prevailing winds likely influence runway selection. Pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind conditions and utilize the longer concrete runway (10L/28R) for heavier aircraft or more demanding operational requirements.
