INS Kohassa (Diglipur) (VODX)

Runways at VODX

According to OurAirports data (compiled from AIP and FAA sources), INS Kohassa (Diglipur) has one runway: 18/36 - 1,006 m long (3,300 ft), 23 m wide, surface not specified in the available data.

Runway headings and wind

The thresholds are oriented as follows: 18/36 on 180° and 360° magnetic. A threshold designator is its magnetic heading divided by ten (ICAO Annex 14), so the runway axis can be read straight off the numbers.

For the 18/36 axis, wind from the west (around 270°) or from the east (around 90°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 180° or 360° acts along the runway, as a headwind or a tailwind. The decoder on this page computes those components automatically from the current METAR.

METAR and TAF for VODX

Weather reports for INS Kohassa (Diglipur) are published under the ICAO code VODX. A METAR is an observation of current conditions, usually issued every 30 or 60 minutes; a TAF is a forecast for the airport area, typically covering 9 to 30 hours.

The decoder breaks the VODX report down into its parts: wind direction and speed including gusts and variability, visibility (including CAVOK and directional minimum visibility), weather phenomena by WMO code, cloud layers with their bases, temperature and dew point, QNH pressure, and the resulting flight category - VFR, MVFR, IFR or LIFR - using FAA thresholds.

Not every airport issues its own reports; many smaller airfields have no weather station. If no current data is available for VODX, check the nearby airports listed below.

Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The Asia/Kolkata zone stays at GMT+05:30 year-round, so converting to local time is always the same shift.

The closest airports in the database, measured in a straight line from the reference point, are Coco Island Airport (Cocokyun) (VYCI, 106 km), Veer Savarkar International Airport / INS Utkrosh (Port Blair) (VOPB, 181 km), Pathein Airport (VYPN, 439 km). When no report is available for VODX, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
