About Dehradun Jolly Grant Airport
Overview
Dehradun Jolly Grant Airport serves the Uttarakhand region, situated at an elevation of 1,831 feet MSL near the city of Dehradun. The medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the mountainous northern Indian region, connecting the area to major metropolitan centers. Its single runway 08/26 offers a 7,000-foot asphalted surface for regional and commercial operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate challenging approach conditions, with 53.6% IFR and 46.1% MVFR days throughout the year. The airport experiences consistent northeastern winds averaging 3.5 knots, with temperatures ranging from 7°C to 30°C and an average of 23.2°C. January, October, and November offer the most favorable VFR flying conditions with highest visibility and most stable weather patterns.
Notable Features
Located at coordinates 30.189243, 78.176651, the airport is positioned in a mountainous terrain that can generate complex local wind and visibility conditions. The airport's elevation and geographic location suggest potential for terrain-induced weather variations and turbulence, particularly during seasonal transitions. Pilots should anticipate potential orographic effects typical of himalayan foothills.
Approach Considerations
Runway 08/26 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind of 1.9 knots. The consistent northeastern wind direction provides predictable approach characteristics. Pilots should maintain heightened situational awareness due to the potential for rapidly changing mountain weather conditions, despite generally stable wind patterns.
