Overview

Nasosnaya Air Base (UB12) is a medium airport located near Sumqayit, Azerbaijan. Positioned at coordinates 40.591599, 49.557400, the airport sits at an unusual negative elevation of -13 ft mean sea level, which is notable for its unique geographic positioning.

Flying Conditions

The airport features a single runway (17/35) with a substantial length of 8,218 feet constructed of concrete surface. Given its coastal location, pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences that could impact visibility and wind conditions.

Notable Features

The airport's significant runway length of 8,218 feet provides operational flexibility for medium-sized aircraft. Its negative elevation suggests the airport is situated in a low-lying coastal region, which may introduce specific atmospheric and terrain considerations for pilots during approach and departure.

Approach Considerations

With a runway oriented at 17/35, pilots should be prepared for approaches aligned approximately north-south. The substantial runway length of 8,218 feet offers considerable margin for landing and takeoff, accommodating a range of aircraft performance requirements.
