About Vitebsk Vostochny Airport
Overview
Vitebsk Vostochny Airport serves the city of Vitebsk in Belarus, functioning as a medium-sized airport situated at 682 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 55.126499, 30.349600, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the eastern region of Belarus. Its single runway (06/24) extends 8,550 feet and is surfaced with asphalt.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data reveals challenging flying conditions, with nearly 77.3% of observations requiring instrument flight rules (IFR or LIFR). Extreme temperature variations range from -23°C to 25°C, with an average temperature of 2.4°C. Visibility typically remains good at an average of 10 statute miles, though fog occurs in 10.1% of observations.
Notable Features
The airport's elevation at 682 feet MSL indicates a relatively moderate terrain environment. September through November represent the most favorable visual flight conditions, offering pilots the highest probability of clear weather. The runway's orientation (06/24) suggests potential for direct crosswind exposures depending on regional wind patterns.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate predominantly instrument meteorological conditions, with nearly 77.3% of observations requiring instrument flight rules. The extensive 8,550-foot runway provides substantial landing and takeoff flexibility. Given the significant variation in visibility and temperature, thorough preflight planning and current meteorological briefings are critically important for safe operations.
