Weather Briefing
MVFRPantnagar Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with clear skies and 5 km visibility. Note: This observation is 9.8 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 8 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 36°C (97°F) with a dewpoint of 12°C, indicating very 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
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Pantnagar Airport
Overview
Pantnagar Airport serves the Udham Singh Nagar district in Uttarakhand, India, positioned at an elevation of 769 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 29.033400, 79.473701, this medium-sized airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the regional transportation network.
Flying Conditions
Pilots should anticipate variable visual flight conditions, with 35.5% MVFR, 32.6% IFR, and 31.9% LIFR observations recorded. Temperature ranges from 3°C to 35°C, with an average of 19.4°C, while visibility typically remains excellent at 10 statute miles. Southwest winds prevail at an average of 3.1 knots, with occasional gusts up to 13 knots and calm periods occurring 16.4% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (10/28) measuring 4,500 feet with an asphalt surface. Geographical positioning suggests potential terrain considerations typical of the lower Himalayan region, with potential for rapid weather changes and localized wind variations. The airport experiences notable fog conditions, occurring in approximately 20% of observations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 10/28 demonstrates favorable wind alignment 100% of the time, with an average crosswind of only 1.8 knots. January, September, and October represent the most consistent VFR months for operations. Pilots should prepare for potential visibility restrictions and be prepared for instrument conditions, particularly during non-peak months.
