About Kota Airport

Overview

Kota Airport (VIKO) is a medium-sized airport located in Kota, India, positioned at coordinates 25.160200, 75.845596. Situated at an elevation of 896 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves the regional transportation needs of the Kota area in Rajasthan.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 896 ft MSL suggests a moderate terrain environment typical of the Rajasthan region. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations and wind conditions characteristic of the semi-arid landscape, which can impact approach and departure dynamics.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (08/26) with an asphalt surface measuring 4,078 feet in length. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations for pilots during landing and takeoff, with the runway aligned in an east-west configuration.

Approach Considerations

Runway 08/26's moderate length of 4,078 feet requires careful performance calculations, particularly for larger aircraft. Pilots should assess wind direction and aircraft performance parameters when planning approaches, noting the potential for crosswind components given the runway's orientation.
