About Stavropol Shpakovskoye Airport

Overview

Stavropol Shpakovskoye Airport serves the Stavropol region in southern Russia, positioned at an elevation of 1,486 feet above mean sea level. The airport supports medium-scale aviation operations with a substantial 8,530-foot asphalt runway capable of handling various aircraft types. Its strategic location near 45.109200N, 42.112801E provides critical transportation infrastructure for the surrounding area.

Flying Conditions

Pilots should anticipate highly variable visual conditions, with only 52.1% of observations supporting standard VFR operations. Significant low-visibility periods occur, with 25.7% of observations reporting LIFR conditions and 33.3% experiencing fog events. Temperature ranges widely from -12°C to 26°C, suggesting potential icing and thermal variation challenges during different seasons.

Notable Features

The airport's elevated terrain at 1,486 feet MSL indicates potential orographic influences on local weather patterns. Surrounding geographic characteristics may contribute to the complex visibility and meteorological conditions observed in the METAR data. Pilots should be prepared for potential terrain-induced weather variations that could impact approach and departure procedures.

Approach Considerations

The single runway (07/25) provides flexibility for landing operations, though specific wind data suggests minimal directional preference. September, October, and January offer the most consistent VFR conditions, potentially representing optimal periods for general aviation activities. Pilots should carefully review current meteorological reports, given the significant variability in visual flight conditions at this location.
