About Vnukovo International Airport

Overview

Vnukovo International Airport serves as a major aviation hub in Moscow, Russia, located southwest of the city center. As one of Moscow's primary international airports, it handles significant commercial, cargo, and business aviation traffic. The airport sits at an elevation of 685 feet above mean sea level, with two substantial asphalt runways capable of supporting large aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Vnukovo demonstrate significant variability, with instrument flight rules (IFR) or lower conditions prevalent in 52.6% of observed METARs. Pilots should anticipate challenging visual conditions, particularly during non-summer months. Temperature ranges extensively from -18°C to 27°C, requiring careful consideration of aircraft performance and potential icing conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features two parallel runways: 01/19 at 10,039 feet and 06/24 at 11,483 feet, providing substantial operational flexibility. Its proximity to Moscow makes it strategically important for regional and international air traffic. The relatively flat terrain surrounding the airport supports predictable approach and departure paths.

Approach Considerations

While wind data in the provided statistics appears incomplete, pilots should prepare for potential instrument approaches given the high percentage of non-visual flight conditions. September through November represent the most favorable visual meteorological conditions, with lower probabilities of low ceilings and reduced visibility. Standard instrument approach procedures should be thoroughly reviewed before operations.
