About Kokshetau Airport
Overview
Kokshetau Airport serves the northeastern Kazakhstan region, located at an elevation of 900 feet MSL near the city of Kokshetau. The airport supports medium-sized aircraft operations with a substantial 8,325-foot asphalt runway oriented 02/20, facilitating regional transportation and connectivity in this part of Kazakhstan.
Flying Conditions
Statistical data indicates predominantly favorable flying conditions, with 61% of observations reporting VFR weather. Temperature ranges extensively from -32°C to 28°C, suggesting significant seasonal variation that pilots must carefully prepare for. The airport experiences minimal low visibility events, with only 3% of observations reporting LIFR conditions and a negligible 0.8% fog occurrence.
Notable Features
Situated at coordinates 53.329102, 69.594597, Kokshetau Airport is positioned in a region with potentially variable meteorological characteristics. The airport's geographic location suggests potential for rapid weather changes, particularly during transitional seasons, requiring pilots to maintain heightened situational awareness during approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
With a single runway (02/20), pilots should anticipate standard approach procedures aligned with the runway's orientation. While wind data in the provided statistics appears incomplete, pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight wind assessments. September, October, and January represent statistically optimal months for VFR operations, offering the most consistent flying conditions.
