Weather Briefing
IFRPanagarh Air Force Station is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,000 feet and 4 km visibility. Note: This observation is 8.9 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (180°) at 5 knots. Runway 15/33 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-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 2,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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 Panagarh Air Force Station
Panagarh 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
Panagarh Air Force Station is a medium airport located in West Bengal, India, serving military aviation operations. Positioned at 23.474300N, 87.427498E, the station is strategically situated in the eastern region of the country. Its elevation of 240 feet above mean sea level provides a relatively low-altitude operational environment for aircraft.
Flying Conditions
The region experiences typical Indian subtropical climate with distinct seasonal variations that can impact flight operations. Pilots should anticipate monsoon conditions during summer months, which can significantly affect visibility and runway conditions. The airport's single runway (15/33) is 9000 feet long with an asphalt surface, providing substantial landing and takeoff capabilities.
Notable Features
Panagarh Air Force Station is characterized by its single runway oriented in the 15/33 direction, which suggests potential wind alignment considerations for pilots. The airport's moderate elevation and asphalt surface provide relatively stable ground conditions for aircraft movements. Its location in West Bengal indicates potential terrain variations in the surrounding landscape that pilots should be aware of during approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
Runway 15/33 offers a long 9000-foot asphalt surface suitable for medium-sized military aircraft operations. Pilots should prepare for potential wind shifts given the runway's orientation and the region's seasonal meteorological patterns. Standard military approach procedures and local air traffic control protocols will govern standard arrival and departure methods at this air force station.
