About Kulob Airport

Overview

Kulob Airport serves the city of Kulyab in Tajikistan, positioned at an elevation of 2,293 feet above mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the southern region of Tajikistan. The airport features a single asphalt runway (01/19) with a substantial length of 9,843 feet, capable of supporting various aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 70.9% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Marginal VFR and Instrument Flight Rules conditions occur less frequently, representing 16.2% and 7.8% of observations respectively. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -10°C to 37°C, with an average of 13.1°C, indicating potential seasonal operational challenges.

Notable Features

Located at coordinates 37.988098, 69.805000, Kulob Airport is situated in a region with potential complex terrain characteristics typical of Tajikistan's mountainous landscape. The airport's high elevation and geographic position suggest potential wind and visibility variations that pilots should carefully assess during pre-flight planning. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visibility.

Approach Considerations

Seasonal considerations suggest October, September, and November offer the most consistently favorable flying conditions. While specific wind data shows no clear prevailing direction, pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight wind assessments. The extensive 9,843-foot runway provides substantial operational flexibility for various aircraft types and approach scenarios.
