Weather Briefing
IFRSafdarjung Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 10,000 feet and 3.5 km visibility. Note: This observation is 3.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 10 knots with gusts to 20 knots. Runway 30 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 9-knot crosswind component (gusting to 17 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 3.5 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 10000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 4,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 25°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Safdarjung Airport
Overview
Safdarjung Airport serves as a medium-sized airport located in New Delhi, India, situated at coordinates 28.585453, 77.203563. The airport operates at an elevation of 705 feet mean sea level (MSL) and provides essential aviation infrastructure for the national capital region.
Flying Conditions
Being located in New Delhi, Safdarjung Airport experiences significant seasonal weather variations typical of the region, including hot summers and mild winters. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations and associated turbulence, particularly during transition seasons when temperature gradients can be pronounced.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (12/30) with an asphalted surface measuring 4,520 feet in length. Its urban location within New Delhi presents unique considerations for pilots, including potential complex airspace interactions and proximity to metropolitan terrain features.
Approach Considerations
Runway 12/30's orientation suggests potential wind alignment challenges during different seasonal wind patterns. Pilots should carefully evaluate current meteorological conditions and prepare for potential crosswind scenarios given the runway's specific directional alignment.
