Weather Briefing
IFRVeer Savarkar International Airport / INS Utkrosh is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 8,000 feet and 4 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 7 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 4 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 8000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
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: Mist, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 13:00Z and 15:00Z.
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.

As a medium-sized airport at 13 ft MSL, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago, supporting regional and international connections to this strategic island location.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly Marginal VFR conditions, with 95.1% of observations falling in the MVFR category. The airport experiences consistent easterly winds averaging 7.2 knots, with potential for significant wind events up to 78 knots. Temperature ranges from 20°C to 39°C, with an average of 27.4°C, indicating relatively stable tropical maritime conditions.
Notable Features
The single runway 04/22 spans 10,795 feet with an asphalt surface, providing substantial operational flexibility. Its orientation and length make it suitable for diverse aircraft types. The airport's island location suggests potential for rapidly changing maritime weather conditions, with high visibility averages of 10 statute miles.
Approach Considerations
Runway 04/22 offers highly favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind alignment and minimal average crosswind of 3 knots. January, September, and October represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Pilots should be prepared for potential maritime weather variations typical of island environments.
