About Nakhchivan Airport
Overview
Nakhchivan Airport serves the autonomous republic of Nakhchivan, located in Azerbaijan's exclave region. As a medium airport situated at 2,863 feet MSL, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this geographically isolated area. The airport features two substantial runways, each 10,826 feet long, capable of handling diverse aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 57.4% of observations in visual flight rules and an additional 27% in marginal VFR. The airport experiences moderate wind conditions, with prevailing northerly winds averaging 6.2 knots and occasional gusts up to 36 knots. Seasonal temperature variations are significant, ranging from -14°C to 34°C, with an average of 7.8°C.
Notable Features
The airport's elevated position at 2,863 feet MSL suggests potential terrain interaction and potential orographic effects. Both runways (14L/32R and 14R/32L) demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with consistently low average crosswind conditions at 3.9 knots. Visibility is generally excellent, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal fog occurrence (1.6% of observations).
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the most consistent VFR flying months, offering optimal approach conditions. The dual runway configuration provides operational flexibility, with near-identical wind characteristics. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature-related performance considerations given the wide thermal range and moderate elevation.
