About Pechora Airport

Overview

Pechora Airport is a medium-sized airport located in the Komi Republic of northern Russia, situated at coordinates 65.121101, 57.130798. The airport serves the regional transportation needs of the Pechora area, operating at an elevation of 98 feet above mean sea level. Its strategic location supports critical transportation infrastructure in this remote northern region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's northern latitude at 65.12 degrees means pilots can expect significant seasonal variations in weather conditions. Winter months will likely present challenging meteorological environments with potential low visibility and cold temperature operations. The airport's moderate elevation of 98 feet MSL suggests relatively stable approach and landing conditions.

Notable Features

Pechora Airport features a single runway (16/34) with a concrete surface measuring 5,905 feet in length. The runway orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing, particularly given the airport's northern geographical position. Terrain in this region is characterized by subarctic landscape with potential atmospheric complexity.

Approach Considerations

The runway's 16/34 orientation indicates potential wind alignment challenges depending on prevailing meteorological conditions. Pilots should prepare for potential crosswind scenarios, particularly during transitional seasons. The concrete runway surface provides reliable landing characteristics, but careful attention to local wind patterns is recommended during approach and landing phases.
