Notable Features

Located at 574 feet mean sea level, Sokol Airport is situated in a terrain that likely presents complex meteorological and geographical considerations for pilots. The airport's geographical position suggests potential for challenging wind and precipitation patterns typical of Russia's northeastern coastal regions.

Approach Considerations

The airport's single runway (10/28) provides flexibility for approaches, though specific wind data was not conclusive in the provided statistics. Pilots should anticipate potential winter operational challenges given the significant temperature range and geographic location, preparing accordingly for potential low-visibility or cold-weather conditions.
