About Pobedilovo Airport

Overview

Pobedilovo Airport serves the city of Kirov in the Russian Federation, functioning as a medium-sized regional airport. Located at coordinates 58.503883, 49.347831, the airport provides essential air transportation infrastructure for the Kirov region at an elevation of 479 feet above mean sea level.

Flying Conditions

The airport features two distinct runways with significantly different surfaces, presenting variable operational conditions. The primary runway 04/22 is a 7,230-foot asphalt surface, while runway 06/24 is a shorter 2,247-foot grass runway, which will introduce different performance considerations depending on aircraft type and current meteorological conditions.

Notable Features

Positioned at a moderate elevation of 479 feet MSL, Pobedilovo Airport sits in a terrain that likely experiences continental climate characteristics typical of the region. The presence of both asphalt and grass runways suggests the airport supports diverse aviation activities, potentially including commercial, regional, and potentially some general aviation operations.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should carefully assess runway selection based on aircraft capabilities, current wind conditions, and surface characteristics. The substantial length of runway 04/22 (7,230 feet) provides significant operational flexibility for most medium-sized aircraft, while the shorter grass runway 06/24 may have more restrictive operational parameters.
