About Spichenkovo Airport

Overview

Spichenkovo Airport serves the Novokuznetsk region in Russia, located at an elevation of 1024 ft MSL. Positioned at coordinates 53.811401, 86.877197, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in southwestern Siberia. The airport features a single concrete runway (01/19) extending 8789 feet, capable of supporting various aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Meteorological data reveals significant variability in flight conditions, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating at 44.5% of observations. Marginal VFR conditions occur 32.9% of the time, while Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) are present in 17.3% of observations. Temperature ranges dramatically from -39°C to 26°C, with an average of -4.6°C, indicating challenging winter operations and substantial seasonal temperature fluctuations.

Notable Features

The airport's geographical location in the Siberian region suggests complex terrain and potential mountainous surrounding areas. With an elevation of 1024 ft MSL, pilots should anticipate potential terrain-related wind and visibility challenges. The concrete runway's substantial length of 8789 feet provides operational flexibility for various aircraft types.

Approach Considerations

While wind data shows insufficient directional information, the single runway (01/19) offers standard approach options. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility (fog present only 2.4% of observations). September through November represent the most consistent visual meteorological conditions, potentially offering the most predictable approach environment.
