Baranavichi Air Base

Baranavichi Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the BY AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Baranavichi Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in Belarus at coordinates 53.099998, 26.049999. Positioned at sea level (0 ft MSL), the air base serves regional aviation operations in the central Belarusian region. Its strategic location and substantial runway length suggest it supports military and potentially some civilian aviation activities.

Flying Conditions

Situated at 0 ft MSL, Baranavichi experiences relatively consistent elevation conditions with minimal terrain-induced atmospheric variations. The airport's geographical position in Belarus indicates potential for variable weather patterns typical of Eastern European continental climate zones. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal temperature and wind variations that could impact flight operations.

Notable Features

The air base features a single runway (04/22) with a significant length of 9,836 feet constructed of concrete (CON). This extensive runway configuration supports a wide range of aircraft types and operational requirements. The runway's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing phases.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/22's substantial 9,836-foot length provides ample space for diverse aircraft approach and landing scenarios. Given the runway's dimensions and sea-level elevation, pilots can expect relatively straightforward approach conditions. Wind assessment and runway selection should be conducted based on current meteorological data and prevailing wind directions.
