About Pune Airport / Lohagaon Air Force Station
Pune Airport / Lohagaon Air Force Station 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
Pune Airport, located at an elevation of 1,942 feet MSL, serves as a dual-purpose civil and military airfield in western Maharashtra, India. Situated near the city of Pune at coordinates 18.582100, 73.919701, this medium-sized airport supports both commercial and Air Force operations, leveraging its strategic location in the region.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 1,942 feet MSL suggests potential temperature and density altitude variations that pilots should consider during operations. Given its inland location, the airport may experience significant seasonal weather changes, which could impact aircraft performance, particularly during takeoff and landing on its two asphalted runways.
Notable Features
Pune Airport features two significant runways: a primary 10,000-foot runway (10/28) and a secondary 5,893-foot runway (14/32), both constructed with asphalt surfaces. The dual-runway configuration provides operational flexibility and allows for different wind conditions, which is critical for safe aircraft movements at this medium-sized airport.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should be prepared to utilize either the 10/28 or 14/32 runway based on prevailing wind conditions and air traffic control instructions. The substantial length of the primary runway (10,000 feet) offers considerable margin for various aircraft types, while the secondary runway provides additional operational contingency.
