About Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk Airport

Overview

Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk Airport serves the primary urban center of Sakhalin Island in Russia's far eastern region. Located at 46.885461, 142.717466, the airport operates a substantial 11,155-foot concrete runway capable of handling medium-sized aircraft with significant operational flexibility.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions 75.7% of the time, with MVFR conditions occurring 15.1% of observations. Temperature variations are substantial, ranging from -26°C to 24°C, with an average of 0.7°C, which can significantly impact aircraft performance and preflight planning.

Notable Features

Situated at a modest elevation of 59 feet above mean sea level, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk Airport offers relatively flat terrain approach characteristics. The airport's geographic position on Sakhalin Island suggests potential for maritime weather influences and potential rapid meteorological changes typical of coastal environments.

Approach Considerations

The single runway (01/19) provides straightforward approach options with extensive length supporting diverse aircraft types. Despite limited wind data in the provided statistics, pilots should anticipate potential seasonal variations and prepare for potential reduced visibility, with fog reported in 1.4% of observations.
