About Raja Bhoj International Airport
Overview
Raja Bhoj International Airport serves Bhopal, located in central India, serving as a medium-sized airport with strategic regional connectivity. Situated at an elevation of 1,711 feet mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for Madhya Pradesh's capital city. Its two runways accommodate various aircraft operations and serve both commercial and potential military aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
Statistical data reveals complex flying conditions, with instrument flight rules (IFR) dominating 52.5% of observations and marginal VFR conditions present 40.4% of the time. Winds predominantly originate from the north at an average of 4 knots, with occasional significant gusts up to 67 knots. Temperature ranges from 7°C to 33°C, with an average of 20.8°C, suggesting potential thermal variations pilots must consider during flight planning.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a bituminous 3,420-foot runway (06/24) and an asphalt 6,700-foot runway (12/30). Both runways demonstrate favorable wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswinds around 2.6-2.8 knots. The airport's geographical location at coordinates 23.287500, 77.337402 positions it in a region with relatively stable wind patterns.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate predominantly instrument meteorological conditions, with high likelihood of IFR operations throughout the year. January, September, and October represent the most favorable VFR months for visual approaches. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility, though occasional fog (2.9% occurrence) could impact approach planning. Runway selection can be flexibly determined due to consistent wind characteristics.
