About Sukhumi Babushara / Vladislav Ardzinba International Airport
Overview
Sukhumi Babushara / Vladislav Ardzinba International Airport (UGSS) is located in Sukhumi, Georgia, at an elevation of 53 feet above mean sea level. The airport serves the regional transportation needs of Abkhazia, situated along the Black Sea coast. Its single runway (12/30) extends 12,012 feet, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's coastal location suggests potential for variable maritime weather conditions, with wind patterns likely influenced by Black Sea dynamics. Pilots should anticipate potential sea-level meteorological variations that could impact visibility and wind conditions. The relatively low elevation at 53 feet MSL indicates minimal terrain-related atmospheric challenges.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic position at coordinates 42.858200, 41.128101 places it in a strategically significant coastal region with complex regional geopolitical considerations. The concrete runway (CON) provides a stable surface for aircraft operations. Surrounding terrain likely includes coastal and potentially mountainous landscape characteristics typical of the Caucasus region.
Approach Considerations
Runway 12/30's substantial 12,012-foot length provides flexibility for various aircraft approach and landing scenarios. Pilots should prepare for potential maritime wind influences during approach and departure phases. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended given the airport's coastal and regional environment.
