About Cherepovets Airport
Overview
Cherepovets Airport serves the industrial city of Cherepovets in northwestern Russia, located approximately 400 kilometers northeast of St. Petersburg. As a medium-sized airport situated at 377 feet above mean sea level, it supports regional transportation needs in the Vologda Oblast region. The airport provides critical connectivity for industrial and commercial operations in this part of Russia.
Flying Conditions
Pilots should anticipate variable flight conditions, with instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) predominating across the annual cycle. Observation data indicates IFR conditions occur 37.3% of the time, with MVFR conditions present 27.1% of the time. Temperature ranges dramatically from -22°C to 24°C, suggesting significant seasonal weather variations that demand comprehensive pre-flight planning and appropriate aircraft preparation.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (03/21) measuring 8,202 feet constructed of concrete, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographic coordinates at 59.273602, 38.015800 place it in a northern latitude with potential for challenging winter meteorological conditions. The relatively flat terrain surrounding Cherepovets suggests minimal terrain-induced turbulence or complex approach considerations.
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the most favorable VFR months for arrivals and departures, with more predictable weather patterns. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with fog present in approximately 5.1% of observations. While wind data appears incomplete in the provided statistics, pilots should conduct thorough preflight wind assessments and be prepared for potential instrument approach requirements.
