About Keperveem Airport

Overview

Keperveem Airport is located in the remote northeastern region of Russia, positioned at 67.845001° N, 166.139999° E. As a medium airport situated at 623 feet above mean sea level, it serves critical transportation infrastructure in this challenging Arctic environment, supporting regional connectivity for the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.

Flying Conditions

The airport's high latitude location ensures extreme seasonal weather variations typical of the Arctic climate. Pilots should anticipate challenging meteorological conditions, with potential significant crosswinds given the airport's single runway orientation of 09/27 and exposed geographic position.

Notable Features

The airport features a substantial concrete runway measuring 11,482 feet in length, which provides significant operational flexibility for medium-sized aircraft. Its elevation of 623 feet MSL and geographic coordinates suggest a terrain environment characterized by tundra and potentially challenging approach visibility conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27's extended length of 11,482 feet allows for complex aircraft operations in demanding Arctic conditions. Given the runway's east-west orientation, pilots should carefully analyze prevailing wind patterns and be prepared for potential crosswind landing techniques specific to this high-latitude location.
