Weather Briefing

IFR

Ishurdi Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 10,000 feet and 4 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (170°) at 11 knots. Runway 15/33 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is reduced to 4 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,500 ft, scattered at 10,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 26°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain IFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Haze, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 21:00Z and 03:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Ishurdi Airport

Overview

Ishurdi Airport serves the Pabna District in northwestern Bangladesh, functioning as a medium-sized airport located at 24.152500N, 89.049400E. Situated at an elevation of 45 feet mean sea level, the airport provides regional transportation infrastructure for the surrounding agricultural region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation and inland location suggest a climate with potential for significant seasonal weather variations. Pilots should anticipate typical subtropical weather patterns common to Bangladesh, which can include monsoon conditions and potential visibility challenges during wet seasons.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (15/33) constructed of concrete, measuring 4,700 feet in length. Its moderate runway length accommodates medium-sized aircraft and supports regional commercial and potential military aviation operations in the area.

Approach Considerations

Runway 15/33 suggests potential wind alignment considerations for approach and departure planning. Given the airport's geographic positioning and runway orientation, pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios and review current meteorological conditions before landing.
