About Srednekolymsk Airport

Overview

Srednekolymsk Airport serves the remote region of Srednekolymsk in the Sakha Republic of Russia, located in the challenging northeastern Siberian landscape. As a medium airport situated at 60 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this isolated area. The airport supports regional connectivity in an extremely challenging geographical environment.

Flying Conditions

The airport's high latitude (67.48 degrees North) means extreme seasonal weather variations with long, harsh winters and short summers. Pilots should anticipate significant meteorological challenges, particularly during winter months when temperatures can drop dramatically and visibility may be severely restricted. The single concrete runway (01/19) at 5906 feet provides a substantial landing surface for regional aircraft operations.

Notable Features

Srednekolymsk Airport is positioned in a remote subarctic region with complex terrain characteristics typical of northeastern Siberia. The airport's elevation of 60 feet MSL suggests a relatively flat surrounding landscape, which can provide some operational advantages in terms of approach predictability. Its geographic coordinates (67.480500, 153.736400) indicate a location deep within the challenging Siberian wilderness.

Approach Considerations

The single runway (01/19) orientation suggests potential wind alignment considerations for approach and departure planning. Given the airport's northern latitude, pilots should be prepared for rapidly changing meteorological conditions and have contingency plans for potential limited navigation infrastructure. Standard cold-weather operational protocols are critical when accessing this remote airport.
