Proactive Safety Advisory – Precautions for Summer & Pre-Monsoon Flying
Subject: Proactive Safety Advisory – Precautions for Summer & Pre-Monsoon Flying
Dear Sir/Madam,
Greetings from Aviation Safety India.
As you are aware, the summer season has arrived earlier than usual this year, and the temperatures are predicted to rise significantly, surpassing previous years’ records. Additionally, the upcoming Pre-Monsoon Season is expected to bring severe weather conditions, including Thunderstorms, Dust Storms, Hailstorms, and Intense Lightning Activity. The weather during this period is often unpredictable, with storm systems developing rapidly, posing serious hazards to safe flight operations.
Of particular concern are the Northwesters (Kal Baisakhi) — violent, fast-building storms commonly experienced in the Eastern region, especially between Kolkata and Patna. These weather phenomena have historically posed a major threat to air safety during this time of the year.
As part of our Proactive Safety Initiatives, Aviation Safety India has compiled a set of essential Precautionary Measures to help ensure that flight operations are conducted in a safe, efficient, and professional manner during the Summer and Pre-Monsoon season.
To facilitate awareness and preparedness, a detailed Video Presentation on the associated hazards and recommended precautions has been prepared and uploaded on the Aviation Safety India YouTube Channel. We encourage all stakeholders — Operators, Pilots, Aircraft Engineers, Aerodrome Operators, Air Traffic Controllers, and other Aviation Professionals — to watch this presentation and disseminate the information within their respective organizations.

We are confident that this safety initiative will prove to be useful, educative, and beneficial in ensuring the continued safety of aviation operations across the country during this critical season.
Knowledge and Awareness are the Keys to Safety.
Forewarned is Forearmed.
Wishing everyone Happy and Safe Flying and many happy landings.
With Best Wishes & Warm Regards,
Air Commodore B.S. Siwach, AVSM, YSM, VM (Veteran)
