About Zheleznogorsk Airport
Overview
Zheleznogorsk Airport serves the Zheleznogorsk-Ilimsky region in Russia, situated at an elevation of 1946 feet above mean sea level. This medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the local area, positioned in a region characterized by its inland Siberian geography.
Flying Conditions
The airport's significant elevation at 1946 ft MSL suggests potential density altitude considerations, particularly during summer months. Pilots should anticipate variable atmospheric conditions typical of the Siberian climate, which can involve rapid weather transitions and challenging thermal dynamics.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (10/18) with a concrete surface measuring 4,594 feet in length. Its geographical coordinates at 56.487701, 104.106003 place it in a region with complex terrain, likely involving mountainous or heavily forested surrounding landscapes that could influence local wind patterns and approach conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 10/18 provides a single directional approach option, with pilots needing to carefully assess wind conditions given the runway's singular orientation. The concrete runway surface at 4,594 feet offers adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft operations, but precise performance calculations remain critical for safe arrival and departure.
