Weather Briefing

IFR

Muzaffarpur Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with few clouds at 10,000 feet and 3 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northeast (40°) at 6 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is reduced to 3 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 10,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 23°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain IFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Mist, Haze, Light Rain, Haze, Mist.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Muzaffarpur Airport

Overview

Muzaffarpur Airport serves the urban region of Muzaffarpur in Bihar, India, functioning as a medium-sized airport at 174 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 26.119101, 85.313698, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the northeastern part of Bihar state. Its single runway supports regional transportation needs for this densely populated agricultural area.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 174 feet MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude environment with minimal terrain complexity. Muzaffarpur experiences a subtropical climate with significant seasonal variation, which can produce substantial changes in temperature and wind conditions throughout the year. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations and monsoon-related weather patterns typical of the regional climate.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (10/28) measuring 3,990 feet in length, constructed with an asphalt surface. Its geographical positioning in the Gangetic plains suggests generally flat surrounding terrain with minimal vertical obstacles. The runway orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and departure procedures.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28's asphalt surface provides a standard medium-length operational platform for regional aircraft. Given the runway's physical characteristics, pilots should conduct standard approach preparations, accounting for potential crosswind components based on the runway's primary heading. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended for safe navigation in varying weather conditions.
