About Vologda Airport

Overview

Vologda Airport serves the Vologda region in northwestern Russia, located at 59.282501N, 39.944401E. As a medium-sized airport situated at 387 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and potentially supporting industrial or governmental operations in the area.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 387 ft MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment typical of the northwest Russian landscape. Given its geographic location, pilots should anticipate potential challenging weather conditions, particularly during winter months with potential snow and low visibility scenarios.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (15/33) with a concrete surface measuring 4,921 feet in length. Its moderate runway length accommodates medium-sized aircraft and provides operational flexibility for regional aviation needs in the Vologda region.

Approach Considerations

Runway 15/33's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approaches, particularly given the airport's northern latitude and potential variable wind conditions. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and runway alignment when planning arrivals and departures at Vologda Airport.
