About Sinop Airport
Overview
Sinop Airport serves the Black Sea coastal region of northern Turkey, located at an elevation of 20 ft MSL near the city of Sinop. As a medium-sized airport with a single asphalt runway (05/23) measuring 6,482 feet, it provides essential air transportation infrastructure for the region's local and regional aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 78.7% of observations showing clear flying weather and only 4.9% of time in IFR or LIFR conditions. Wind patterns are consistently from the southwest (225°) at an average of 7.4 knots, with occasional gusts up to 28 knots. Temperature ranges from -5°C to 26°C, with an average of 12.7°C, suggesting moderate seasonal variations.
Notable Features
Situated at a low elevation with minimal terrain variation, Sinop Airport offers relatively straightforward approaches and departures. The coastal location near the Black Sea suggests potential for rapid weather changes, though the statistical data indicates stable visibility conditions with an average of 10 statute miles and no recorded instances of visibility below 3 miles.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% of winds compatible with runway heading and an average crosswind of only 4.6 knots. September, October, and December represent the most consistent VFR months, providing optimal conditions for flight operations. Pilots should anticipate predominantly southwestern wind patterns when planning approaches.
