Sarakhs Airport (OIMC) is a medium-sized airport located in the northeastern region of Iran, positioned near the border with Turkmenistan. The airport serves the Sarakhs area, providing critical aviation infrastructure in this strategically located region at an elevation of 945 feet above mean sea level.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 945 ft MSL suggests a moderate terrain environment that could experience variable weather conditions typical of the region's continental climate. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal temperature variations that could impact aircraft performance, particularly during summer and winter months.

Notable Features

Sarakhs Airport features a single runway (14/32) with a substantial length of 13,076 feet, constructed with an asphalt surface. The runway's significant length provides flexibility for various aircraft types and potentially challenging approach conditions, with orientation that suggests potential wind alignment considerations.

Approach Considerations

The runway's 14/32 orientation indicates potential crosswind scenarios depending on prevailing wind directions. Pilots should carefully assess wind conditions and utilize the full runway length, taking advantage of the extensive 13,076-foot asphalt surface for safe approach and landing operations.
