About Ust-Kamenogorsk Airport
Overview
Ust-Kamenogorsk Airport serves the eastern Kazakhstan city of Oskemen, located in a region with significant industrial and economic activity. As a medium-sized airport with two runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and supports various aircraft operations in the East Kazakhstan region.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences significant temperature variation, ranging from -43°C to 27°C, which presents considerable challenges for flight operations. Weather observations indicate predominantly VFR conditions (56.9%), with MVFR and IFR conditions present for a combined 28.8% of the time, suggesting pilots should be prepared for potential weather-related operational changes.
Notable Features
Situated at an elevation of 939 feet MSL, Ust-Kamenogorsk Airport features two distinct runways: a 8,234-foot asphalt runway (12/30) and a 6,088-foot grass runway (12L/30R). The airport's geographical position in eastern Kazakhstan implies potential terrain and wind complexity that pilots must carefully consider during flight planning.
Approach Considerations
With an average visibility of 10 statute miles and fog present in 10.1% of observations, pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility scenarios. October, November, and September represent the most favorable months for visual flight conditions, offering more predictable and stable weather patterns for arrivals and departures.
