About Kursk East Airport
Overview
Kursk East Airport serves the Kursk region in western Russia, positioned at an elevation of 686 feet MSL. Located at coordinates 51.750599, 36.295601, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area, supporting various flight operations with its substantial 8,202-foot concrete runway.
Flying Conditions
Pilots should anticipate variable flight conditions throughout the year, with significant diversity in weather patterns. Statistical data reveals a complex meteorological environment: 36.3% VFR days, 18.2% MVFR, 20.4% IFR, and 25.1% LIFR conditions, indicating potential challenging flying scenarios. Temperature ranges dramatically from -23°C to 29°C, with an average of 1.8°C, suggesting substantial seasonal variation.
Notable Features
The airport's runway 12/30 offers a considerable 8,202-foot concrete surface, providing substantial operational flexibility for different aircraft types. While wind data appears incomplete in the provided statistics, the airport's geographic location in the Kursk region suggests potential terrain and regional wind interaction that pilots should investigate during preflight planning.
Approach Considerations
September and October demonstrate the most favorable VFR conditions, presenting optimal months for visual approaches. Pilots should note the 8.8% fog occurrence rate and prepare accordingly, particularly during periods with lower visibility. The comprehensive visibility average of 10 statute miles provides generally good visual conditions, but the significant percentage of IFR and LIFR days necessitates thorough preflight weather assessment.
