About Ugolny Yuri Ryktheu Airport

Overview

Ugolny Yuri Ryktheu Airport serves the remote northeastern Russian city of Anadyr, located in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. Situated at an elevation of 194 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport is a critical transportation hub for the isolated Chukotka region, providing essential connectivity to this challenging Arctic environment.

Flying Conditions

Weather at UHMA demonstrates significant variability, with multiple instrument flight conditions prevalent. Historical data shows that Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions occur 61.4% of the time, while Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) are significant, with IFR and LIFR conditions present 28.9% of observations. Pilots should anticipate temperature ranges from -36°C to 12°C, with an average of -8.9°C, and expect fog in approximately 15.1% of observations.

Notable Features

The airport features a substantial concrete runway (02/20) measuring 11,483 feet, capable of accommodating larger aircraft operations. Its high-latitude location at 64.7° North creates unique operational challenges, including extended periods of reduced daylight and potential extreme weather conditions typical of the Arctic coastal region.

Approach Considerations

Given the limited wind data provided, specific wind-based approach recommendations are constrained. Pilots should be prepared for potential reduced visibility scenarios, with an average visibility of 10 statute miles. September, October, and November represent the most favorable months for visual flight operations based on the historical meteorological profile.
