About Grozny Airport

Overview

Grozny Airport serves the capital city of Chechnya in the Russian Federation, situated in the North Caucasus region. Located at an elevation of 548 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the region. The airport supports various aviation operations with its single concrete runway measuring 8,202 feet.

Flying Conditions

Pilots should anticipate challenging weather conditions, with low flight rules (LIFR) predominating at 41.1% of observed conditions. The airport experiences significant temperature variation, ranging from -14°C to 27°C, with an average temperature of 6.4°C. September, October, and January offer the most favorable VFR flying conditions, with higher likelihood of clear weather.

Notable Features

The airport is positioned at coordinates 43.388106, 45.699772 in a region characterized by complex terrain. Fog is a notable weather challenge, occurring in 26.4% of observations, which can significantly impact visibility and flight operations. The single runway (08/26) provides a substantial 8,202-foot concrete surface for diverse aircraft operations.

Approach Considerations

While specific wind data suggests minimal directional variation, pilots should maintain standard preparation for potential low visibility scenarios. The airport's high percentage of instrument flight conditions (IFR and LIFR at 56.2% combined) indicates the importance of thorough instrument proficiency and preparation. Typical average visibility remains good at 10 statute miles, providing reasonable operational flexibility.
