About Sheremetyevo International Airport

Overview

Sheremetyevo International Airport serves as a primary international aviation hub for Moscow, Russia. Located approximately 29 kilometers northwest of Moscow's city center, it is a major gateway for both international and domestic air traffic, handling millions of passengers annually.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Sheremetyevo demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions present only 27.7% of the time. Pilots should expect challenging conditions, with Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and Low Instrument Flight Rules (LIFR) collectively accounting for 46.3% of observed conditions. Temperature ranges dramatically from -18°C to 26°C, requiring careful pre-flight planning and potential equipment considerations.

Notable Features

The airport features three substantial runways, with the longest at 12,139 feet providing ample length for wide-body and heavy aircraft operations. Its elevation of 622 feet means moderate altitude considerations for aircraft performance calculations. The airport's geographic position near Moscow makes it a critical node in Russia's aviation infrastructure.

Approach Considerations

With three parallel runways (06C/24C, 06L/24R, 06R/24L), Sheremetyevo offers multiple approach options. While specific wind data appears limited in the provided statistics, pilots should conduct thorough preflight wind assessments. The best visual meteorological conditions typically occur during September, October, and November, potentially offering more predictable approach environments.
