About Kurumoch International Airport

Overview

Kurumoch International Airport serves the Samara region in Russia, functioning as a major aviation hub at 477 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 53.504902, 50.164299, the airport supports significant regional and international air traffic with two substantial runways capable of handling large aircraft.

Flying Conditions

Weather at Kurumoch presents variable conditions, with visual flight rules (VFR) occurring 42.8% of the time and instrument meteorological conditions prevalent during 36.8% of observations. Temperature ranges extensively from -25°C to 30°C, creating potential for significant seasonal operational variations that pilots must carefully anticipate.

Notable Features

The airport features two substantial runways: a 8,379-foot asphalt surface (05/23) and a 9,846-foot concrete surface (15/33), providing excellent operational flexibility for different aircraft types. Its mid-latitude location in the Samara region suggests potential for complex terrain interactions and dynamic atmospheric conditions.

Approach Considerations

While wind data indicates minimal prevailing wind patterns, pilots should remain prepared for potential seasonal wind shifts. The extended runway lengths and diverse surface types offer multiple approach options, with September and October statistically presenting the most consistent visual meteorological conditions for arrivals and departures.
