About Shahid Ashrafi Esfahani Airport

Overview

Shahid Ashrafi Esfahani Airport serves Kermanshah, Iran as a medium-sized airport situated at 4,307 feet above mean sea level. The airport features two substantial runways capable of handling a variety of aircraft operations, with primary runways measuring 9,656 and 11,213 feet in length. Its strategic location in western Iran provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and potential military/commercial purposes.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at OICC are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 95.4% of observations supporting VFR operations. Winds predominantly flow from the west (270°) at an average of 7.6 knots, with occasional strong gusts up to 64 knots. Temperature ranges from -9°C to 35°C, with an average of 12.9°C, presenting moderate thermal variability for pilots.

Notable Features

The airport's elevation of 4,307 feet MSL indicates a moderate terrain environment that requires standard high-altitude flight considerations. Both runways (11L/29R and 11R/29L) demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with consistent average crosswind conditions of 3.4 knots. Pilots can expect excellent wind conditions for approaches and departures across both runway configurations.

Approach Considerations

Optimal flying months are September, October, and November, offering the most consistent visual meteorological conditions. With extremely low IFR and LIFR occurrence rates (less than 1% combined), pilots can anticipate reliable visual navigation. The consistently favorable wind patterns and minimal visibility restrictions suggest predictable and stable approach conditions throughout the year.
