Weather Briefing
MVFRBidar Airport / Bidar Air Force Station is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with few clouds at 3,000 feet and 6 km visibility. Note: This observation is 603.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 5 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 3,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 36°C (97°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 12 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm RAHZ. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm RAHZ between 10:00Z and 14:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Bidar Airport / Bidar Air Force Station
Bidar Airport / Bidar 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
Bidar Airport, designated by ICAO code VOBR, is a medium airport located in Bidar, Karnataka, India. Situated at an elevation of 2,178 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves the Bidar region with its strategic Air Force Station designation. The airport provides critical infrastructure for military and potentially limited civilian aviation operations in this part of southern India.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 2,178 feet MSL indicates a moderate terrain environment that can influence aircraft performance during takeoff and landing. Given its location in Karnataka, pilots should anticipate potential seasonal variations in temperature and wind conditions that could impact aircraft operations. The higher elevation may require careful performance calculations, especially for turbine and piston aircraft.
Notable Features
Bidar Airport features two asphalt runways: runway 02/20 measuring 6,955 feet and runway 08/26 measuring 6,798 feet. These parallel runways provide operational flexibility and options for landing and takeoff based on wind conditions. The airport's geographic coordinates (17.908100, 77.487099) place it in a region with potential terrain and wind variations that pilots should carefully assess during flight planning.
Approach Considerations
The two runways with similar lengths offer pilots multiple approach options depending on prevailing wind conditions. Runway 02/20 and 08/26 provide crosswind alternatives, which can be critical for safe operations. Pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight planning, considering the airport's elevation and potential local meteorological factors that could influence approach and landing procedures.
