About Anapa Vityazevo Airport

Overview

Anapa Vityazevo Airport serves the Krasnodar Region in southwestern Russia, located near the Black Sea coast. Situated at 174 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and potential military/commercial operations in the area.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect highly variable visual conditions, with VFR prevailing 49.6% of the time and significant periods of marginal or instrument flight conditions. Winter temperatures can drop to -13°C, while summer peaks reach 28°C, with an average temperature of 9.2°C. Notably, fog is present 19.3% of the time, which can significantly impact flight planning and operations.

Notable Features

The airport features a substantial concrete runway 04/22 measuring 8,202 feet in length, capable of accommodating medium to large aircraft. Its location near the Black Sea suggests potential maritime meteorological influences and complex local terrain interactions that could affect wind patterns and visibility.

Approach Considerations

September through November represent the most consistent VFR flying months, offering the most stable weather conditions for arrivals and departures. While specific wind data appears limited, pilots should anticipate potential visibility challenges, particularly during fog events that occur in nearly one-fifth of observed conditions.
