About Khankala Air Base

Khankala Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the RU AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Khankala Air Base (XRMU) is located near Grozny in the Russian Federation, serving as a medium-sized airport at an elevation of 548 feet mean sea level. The airport primarily supports regional aviation operations in the Chechen Republic, situated in a geographically complex mountainous region of southwestern Russia.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 548 ft MSL indicates a moderate terrain environment with potential for variable atmospheric conditions typical of the Caucasus region. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations given the airport's proximity to mountainous terrain, which can create localized wind shear and turbulence effects.

Notable Features

Khankala Air Base features a single asphalt runway (08/26) with a substantial length of 8,210 feet, capable of accommodating medium-sized aircraft. The runway's orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, with an east-west alignment that may expose aircraft to regional wind patterns.

Approach Considerations

Runway 08/26's extended length provides flexibility for approach and landing procedures, offering pilots significant runway distance for safe operations. The 8,210-foot runway length allows for comfortable landing margins and supports a variety of aircraft types operating in this regional aviation environment.
