Weather Briefing
MVFRHashimara Air Force Station is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 9,000 feet and 6 km visibility. Note: This observation is 614.3 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northeast (50°) at 6 knots. Runway 10L/28R is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 9000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 20°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 12 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Mist, Thunderstorm Haze. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Haze between 08:00Z and 10:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Hashimara Air Force Station
Hashimara 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
Hashimara Air Force Station is located in Jalpaiguri, West Bengal, India, serving as a medium-sized military airfield. Positioned at an elevation of 340 feet above mean sea level, the station provides strategic aerial capabilities in the northeastern region of India.
Flying Conditions
The airport's moderate elevation of 340 ft MSL suggests relatively stable atmospheric conditions typical of the region. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal variations common to the northeastern Indian climate, which can include monsoon-related weather patterns during certain times of the year.
Notable Features
The air force station features two distinct runways: a 6000-foot asphalted runway (10L/28R) and a 9000-foot Portland Cement Measurement (PEM) runway (11R/29L). These runway configurations provide operational flexibility for different aircraft types and mission requirements, with substantial runway lengths supporting various military aviation needs.
Approach Considerations
Runway orientation suggests potential wind considerations, with 10L/28R and 11R/29L offering alternative approach options depending on prevailing wind conditions. The substantial runway lengths of 6000 and 9000 feet provide ample space for most military aircraft operations, allowing for comfortable approach and landing margins.
