Overview
Kayseri Erkilet Airport serves the central Anatolian region of Turkey, located at an elevation of 3,463 feet MSL near the city of Kayseri. As a medium-sized airport with a substantial 9,841-foot concrete runway, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional commercial and potential military operations in this strategically positioned area.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 68.8% of observations showing good visual flight rules. Wind patterns are consistently from the northeast at an average of 5.5 knots, with calm conditions occurring 20.1% of the time. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -18°C to 29°C, with an average of 6.5°C, which pilots should consider for performance calculations.
Notable Features
Situated at a moderate elevation of 3,463 feet, Kayseri Erkilet Airport's terrain requires careful altitude management during approach and departure. The single runway (07/25) is well-aligned with prevailing winds, with 100% wind favorability and an average crosswind component of only 2.7 knots, providing consistent and predictable landing conditions.
Approach Considerations
September, October, and November represent the most consistent VFR months for operations. With minimal low visibility events (only 1.3% fog occurrences) and typically excellent 10SM visibility, pilots can expect reliable approach conditions. The runway's substantial 9,841-foot length provides ample landing and takeoff performance for most aircraft types operating in this region.
