About Yelizovo Airport
Overview
Yelizovo Airport serves Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, located in the far eastern region of Russia. As a medium-sized airport with three runways, it is the primary aviation gateway to the Kamchatka Peninsula, supporting regional and international operations at an elevation of 131 feet mean sea level.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions 75% of the time, with Marginal VFR occurring in 11.6% of observations. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -23°C to 20°C, with an average of -0.5°C. September, October, and November represent the most favorable VFR months for operations.
Notable Features
The airport features three runways: a shorter 735-foot asphalt surface (12/30) and two longer concrete runways measuring 11,155 feet (16L/34R) and 8,235 feet (16R/34L). Its geographic location in the Kamchatka Peninsula suggests potential for complex terrain and maritime weather influences that pilots should carefully consider during flight planning.
