About Zhukovsky International Airport
Overview
Zhukovsky International Airport serves the Moscow metropolitan area as a significant aviation facility located east of the city. Situated at 377 feet mean sea level, the airport supports large aircraft operations with its extensive 15,092-foot concrete runway. Its strategic location provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Moscow region.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect variable visual flight conditions, with approximately 63.1% of observations allowing visual or marginal visual flight rules. Seasonal temperature ranges from -24°C to 28°C create diverse operational environments, with potential significant temperature-related considerations. The airport experiences minimal fog events, with only 5% of observations reporting fog conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (12/30) provides substantial length, accommodating large aircraft and supporting complex operational requirements. Its coordinates at 55.553299, 38.150002 position the airport in a relatively flat terrain region surrounding Moscow. The airport's elevation and geographic positioning suggest minimal terrain-induced turbulence or significant approach challenges.
Approach Considerations
Given the lack of specific wind data, pilots should be prepared for potential variable wind conditions during approach and departure. The extensive runway length provides significant operational flexibility for most aircraft types. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended during the 24.2% of observations reporting instrument flight rules conditions.
