Weather Briefing
IFRKushinagar International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with clear skies and 4 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (100°) at 5 knots. Runway 11/29 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 1-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. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 21°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.
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 Kushinagar International Airport
Overview
Kushinagar International Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Uttar Pradesh, India, serving the Kushinagar region at an elevation of 266 ft MSL. The airport provides critical regional connectivity with its single asphalt runway 11/29, measuring 10,500 feet in length. Its strategic location at coordinates 26.776534, 83.889214 supports both civilian and potential military aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Pilots should anticipate challenging instrument meteorological conditions, with 76.9% of observations requiring instrument flight rules (IFR or LIFR). Wind patterns are predominantly westerly at 270° with an average speed of 5.7 knots, occasionally gusting to 20 knots. Temperature variations range significantly from 6°C to 35°C, with an average of 21.7°C, suggesting potential thermal and density altitude considerations.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway 11/29 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility. Visibility typically remains excellent at an average of 10 statute miles, with only 16.3% of observations experiencing fog conditions. Seasonal variations suggest January, September, and October offer the most consistent visual meteorological conditions for flight operations.
Approach Considerations
With an average crosswind of only 2.5 knots on runway 11/29, pilots can expect relatively straightforward landing conditions. The preponderance of instrument flight rules suggests standard instrument approach procedures will be frequently utilized. Pilots should prepare for potential low visibility scenarios, particularly during non-peak months when LIFR and IFR conditions dominate observation records.
