Vaziani Air Base

Vaziani Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the GE AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Vaziani Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in Georgia at coordinates 41.627998, 45.030800, situated near Gamarjveba 1. The airport has an elevation of 1460 feet above mean sea level, serving regional aviation operations in the eastern part of the country.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 1460 ft MSL suggests potential temperature and density altitude variations that pilots should consider during flight planning. Given its inland location, pilots can expect regional climatic conditions typical of Georgia's eastern terrain, which may include variable wind patterns and potential thermal activity.

Notable Features

Vaziani Air Base features a single runway (14/32) with a substantial length of 8205 feet constructed with concrete (CON) surface. The runway orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, and pilots should be prepared for terrain-influenced wind dynamics common in this geographic region.

Approach Considerations

Runway 14/32's significant length of 8205 feet provides ample space for most aircraft categories, offering flexibility in approach and landing procedures. Pilots should review current wind conditions and consider runway alignment when planning approaches, utilizing the full runway length for optimal landing performance.
