As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for central Russia, supporting regional transportation and potentially military or commercial operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Grabtsevo demonstrate significant variability, with instrument flight rules (IFR) dominating approximately 50.6% of observations. Pilots should anticipate challenging conditions, with low-level IFR (LIFR) occurring in 25.7% of reports and marginal VFR (MVFR) in 21.3% of cases. Temperature ranges extensively from -25°C to 27°C, suggesting preparation for extreme seasonal variations.

Notable Features

The airport features a single asphalt runway (13/31) measuring 6,885 feet in length, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its location in the Kaluga region suggests potential terrain complexity, with elevation at 656 feet indicating a relatively moderate terrain profile typical of central Russian landscape.

Approach Considerations
