About Chita-Kadala International Airport
Overview
Chita-Kadala International Airport serves the Zabaykalsky Krai region in eastern Russia, located near the city of Chita. The airport is a medium-sized international facility positioned at an elevation of 2,272 feet above mean sea level, with coordinates that place it in a significant transportation corridor of the Russian Far East.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 84.8% of observations showing favorable visual flight rules. Temperature variations are extreme, ranging from -40°C to 26°C with an average of -8.2°C, requiring careful aircraft and pilot preparation. Visibility is consistently good, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal instances of reduced visibility.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a 9,430-foot concrete runway (11/29) and a 5,905-foot grass runway (11L/29R). Its location in eastern Russia suggests potential challenges from continental climate conditions, including potential winter operational restrictions and significant temperature fluctuations that could impact aircraft performance.
Approach Considerations
Based on available data, October through November represent the most stable flying months with highest probability of favorable conditions. The dual runway configuration allows for operational flexibility, though specific wind data suggests careful preflight planning will be critical due to limited wind information in the provided METAR observations.
