About Pavlodar Airport
Overview
Pavlodar Airport serves the East Kazakhstan region, situated at an elevation of 410 feet MSL near the city of Pavlodar. The airport operates a single runway 03/21 measuring 8,202 feet in length, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical location at coordinates 52.195000, 77.073898 positions it as a strategic regional aviation facility.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Pavlodar Airport demonstrate significant seasonal variability, with temperatures ranging from -36°C to 29°C. Flight rules are predominantly VFR (59.6%), with MVFR and IFR conditions present during 33.6% of observations. Pilots can expect generally good visibility, averaging 10 statute miles, with minimal fog occurrence at just 1.7% of recorded periods.
Notable Features
The airport's medium classification suggests infrastructure supporting regional and potentially some commercial traffic. Its continental location implies potential for rapid weather changes and challenging winter conditions. The wide temperature range indicates the need for comprehensive aircraft and operational preparation across different seasonal extremes.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21 provides a substantial 8,202-foot concrete surface suitable for various aircraft types. While specific wind data shows limited directional preference in the provided statistics, pilots should conduct standard pre-approach briefings and wind assessments. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended during the less frequent IFR and LIFR conditions observed in the weather data.
