About Cheboksary Airport
Overview
Cheboksary Airport serves the city of Cheboksary in the Russian Federation, located at coordinates 56.090302, 47.347301. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 558 feet MSL, it supports regional and potentially some commercial aviation operations. The airport features two runways: a primary asphalt runway (06/24) measuring 8,241 feet and a secondary grass runway (06R/24L) of 4,950 feet.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Cheboksary Airport demonstrate significant variability, with METAR data showing a complex visual flight rules (VFR) environment. Pilots can expect diverse conditions, with 36% VFR days, 23.6% marginal VFR, 24% IFR, and 16.3% low IFR conditions. Temperature ranges dramatically from -25°C to 26°C, with an average of 0.4°C, indicating potential challenging winter operations and significant seasonal transitions.
Notable Features
The airport's dual-runway configuration provides operational flexibility, with an asphalt and a grass runway offering alternatives based on aircraft type and current conditions. Its mid-latitude location suggests potential for variable weather patterns, with meteorological observations indicating minimal wind disturbances and generally good visibility averaging 10 statute miles. Seasonal variations are notable, with September and October, along with January, presenting the most favorable VFR conditions.
Approach Considerations
Approaches to Cheboksary Airport should consider the substantial difference between runway surfaces and lengths. The primary 8,241-foot asphalt runway (06/24) offers more substantial landing capabilities compared to the 4,950-foot grass runway. While wind data shows minimal prevailing wind, pilots should still perform standard terrain and approach assessments, with particular attention to the limited fog occurrence (3.5%) and excellent typical visibility conditions.
