Weather Briefing

IFR

Dabolim Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,000 feet and 3 km visibility. Note: This observation is 19.2 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (270°) at 13 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 13-knot headwind and 2-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: scattered at 1,000 ft, scattered at 2,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 29°C (84°F) with a dewpoint of 26°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

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 Dabolim Airport

Overview

Dabolim Airport serves the Goa region in western India, located near Vasco da Gama. As a large airport situated at 150 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for commercial and potentially military operations in this coastal area.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal location suggests potential for variable wind conditions and maritime weather influences. Pilots should anticipate potential sea breeze effects and humidity variations typical of western Indian coastal environments.

Notable Features

The airport features a substantial runway measuring 11,345 feet with an asphalt (ASP) surface, accommodating large aircraft operations. Its geographic coordinates at 15.380800, 73.831398 position the airport in a region with complex terrain surrounding the coastal plains.

Approach Considerations

The primary runway orientation of 08/26 suggests potential crosswind considerations depending on prevailing wind directions. Pilots should prepare for potential wind shear and turbulence typical of coastal airport environments when planning approach and departure procedures.
