Weather Briefing

IFR

Darbhanga Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 10,000 feet and 4.5 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northwest (320°) at 7 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is reduced to 4.5 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,000 ft, scattered at 10,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 37°C (99°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C, indicating relatively dry 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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Haze, Light Thunderstorm Rain, Mist. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 11:00Z and 14:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 10:00Z and 12:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

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

About Darbhanga Airport

Overview

Darbhanga Airport serves the Darbhanga region in Bihar, India, positioned at coordinates 26.192801, 85.916901. As a medium airport with an elevation of 156 feet mean sea level, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for the northeastern Bihar area. The airport supports regional connectivity and serves as an important transportation hub for local commercial and potentially military aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Located at a relatively low elevation of 156 ft MSL, Darbhanga Airport experiences typical north Indian plains climate with significant seasonal temperature variations. Pilots should anticipate potential monsoon-related weather challenges during June through September, which can impact visibility and surface conditions. The airport's geographic position suggests potential thermal and convective activity during pre-monsoon and summer months.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (10/28) with a substantial 9000-foot concrete surface, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. Its low elevation and plains environment suggest minimal terrain-induced turbulence or complex wind patterns. The runway orientation (10/28) indicates a predominantly east-west alignment, which may influence approach and departure strategies based on prevailing wind conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28's extended 9000-foot concrete surface provides generous landing and takeoff capabilities for most regional aircraft types. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction when selecting runway, considering the east-west orientation. The airport's low elevation and flat surrounding terrain should provide relatively straightforward approach and landing conditions with minimal geographic interference.
