About Altai Airport
Overview
Altai Airport serves the Altai region in MN, situated at a significant elevation of 7,260 feet above mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area, supporting various aviation operations at its high-altitude location.
Flying Conditions
The airport's high elevation at 7,260 ft MSL presents unique atmospheric conditions that pilots must carefully consider during flight planning. Elevation this high can significantly impact aircraft performance, density altitude, and engine efficiency, particularly during warmer months or at higher gross weights.
Notable Features
Positioned at coordinates 46.376400, 96.221100, Altai Airport features a single runway (10/28) with a substantial length of 7,513 feet. The runway's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations, with its east-west alignment typical of airports responding to prevailing regional wind patterns.
Approach Considerations
Runway 10/28's extended length of 7,513 feet provides ample landing and takeoff space, which is particularly beneficial given the airport's high-altitude environment. Pilots should anticipate potential performance limitations and plan accordingly, utilizing the full runway length and accounting for the elevation's impact on aircraft capabilities.
