About Cherkasy International Airport
Overview
Cherkasy International Airport (UKKE) serves the central Ukrainian region of Cherkasy, located approximately 200 kilometers south of Kyiv. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway measuring 8,180 feet, the facility supports regional and potentially limited international aviation operations. The airport is situated at an elevation of 375 feet above mean sea level, providing a moderate terrain profile for aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 375 feet MSL suggests a relatively stable atmospheric environment with moderate terrain influences. Pilots should anticipate typical continental Ukrainian climate conditions, which include significant seasonal temperature variations that could impact aircraft performance. The asphalt runway (ASP) indicates standard surface conditions for most aircraft types.
Notable Features
Cherkasy International Airport's single runway (15/33) provides directional flexibility for takeoffs and landings based on wind conditions. The airport's geographic coordinates (49.415600, 31.995300) place it in the central Ukrainian landscape, which typically features rolling terrain and relatively open airspace. The runway length of 8,180 feet accommodates a range of aircraft sizes from regional commuters to medium-sized commercial jets.
Approach Considerations
Runway 15/33 orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios depending on prevailing wind patterns. Pilots should prepare for standard approach procedures considering the airport's moderate elevation and single-runway configuration. The substantial runway length of 8,180 feet provides comfortable operational margins for most aircraft types operating in this region.
