About Koltsovo Airport

Overview

Koltsovo Airport serves as a critical aviation hub in the Ural region, located in Yekaterinburg, Russia. As a large airport with two substantial runways (8,192ft and 9,925ft), it supports significant commercial and potentially military aviation operations in this strategically important central Russian area.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect varied visual flight conditions throughout the year, with 45.9% VFR, 31.3% MVFR, and 22.7% instrument conditions. Temperature ranges dramatically from -37°C to 23°C, with an average of -3.4°C, indicating significant seasonal temperature variations that require careful pre-flight planning and potential aircraft performance considerations.

Notable Features

Situated at 764 feet mean sea level, Koltsovo Airport is positioned in a relatively flat region of the Ural Mountain adjacent area. The airport's elevation and geographic position suggest potential for wind variations and potential turbulence, though specific wind data in the provided statistics shows minimal prevailing wind characteristics.

Approach Considerations

The airport features two parallel runways (08L/26R and 08R/26L) with substantial lengths accommodating large aircraft operations. With an average visibility of 10 statute miles and only 11.7% fog occurrence, approaches are generally favorable, with September, October, and December presenting the most consistent visual meteorological conditions for flight operations.
