Weather Briefing

MVFR

Belagavi Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 8,000 feet and 6 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 10 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 5-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 2,000 ft, scattered at 8,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 37°C (99°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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 9 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Haze, Smoke, Light Thunderstorm Rain, Light Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain, Light Showers Rain between 09:00Z and 12:00Z.

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 Belagavi Airport

Overview

Belagavi Airport serves the Karnataka region in southwestern India, located at 15.859300, 74.618301 with an elevation of 2,487 feet mean sea level. As a medium airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Belgaum area, supporting regional transportation and potential military/commercial operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's significant elevation at 2,487 feet MSL creates potential density altitude considerations for aircraft performance, particularly during warmer months. Pilots should anticipate potential performance variations based on temperature and altitude interactions. The airport's inland location suggests potential for thermal and convective weather patterns typical of the regional climate.

Notable Features

The single runway (08/26) measures 7,546 feet in length, classified as a MAC (Medium Aircraft) runway. Its substantial length provides operational flexibility for various aircraft types operating in this region. The geographic coordinates indicate the airport is situated in a transitional landscape between coastal and inland terrains.

Approach Considerations

Runway 08/26 suggests potential wind alignment with prevailing regional wind patterns. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and approach assessments, noting the airport's moderate elevation and potential local atmospheric conditions. Standard instrument approach procedures and visual flight rules should be carefully applied given the airport's geographic and elevation characteristics.
