About Balakovo Airport
Overview
Balakovo Airport serves the city of Balakovo in Russia, situated in the Saratov Oblast region. Located at coordinates 51.858299, 47.745602, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the local area. The airport operates at an elevation of 95 feet above mean sea level, supporting regional aviation connectivity.
Flying Conditions
The airport's moderate elevation of 95 ft MSL suggests relatively stable atmospheric conditions with minimal terrain-related turbulence. Being located in central Russia, pilots can expect significant seasonal weather variations that could impact flight operations. Winter conditions may introduce challenges with potential snow and reduced visibility.
Notable Features
The airport features a single concrete runway (03/21) with a substantial length of 7,710 feet, accommodating a wide range of aircraft types. Its geographic position in the Saratov region indicates a predominantly flat terrain surrounding the airport, which should provide predictable approach and departure profiles. The runway orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during certain wind conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21's extended 7,710-foot length provides generous landing and takeoff options for most medium-sized aircraft. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind scenarios due to the runway's linear north-south orientation. Standard approach procedures will be consistent with Russian aviation regulations for medium-sized regional airports.
