About Hakkari Yüksekova Airport
Overview
Hakkari Yüksekova Airport serves the southeastern region of Turkey, located at a high elevation of 6400 ft MSL in a mountainous area. The airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Hakkari province, situated near the borders of Iraq and Iran. Its medium-sized classification and substantial 10,499 ft runway support diverse aviation operations in this challenging geographic region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Hakkari Yüksekova demonstrate significant variability, with only 46.5% of observations reporting standard VFR conditions. Pilots should anticipate substantial IFR (19.7%) and LIFR (21.3%) periods, particularly during non-summer months. Temperature ranges dramatically from -32°C to 27°C, with an average of 1.2°C, indicating potential significant thermal and icing considerations throughout the year.
Notable Features
The airport's high elevation at 6400 ft MSL presents unique challenges for aircraft performance and navigation. Prevailing easterly winds (90°) average 5.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 19 knots. The surrounding terrain is characterized by mountainous topography, which can generate complex local wind patterns and potential turbulence during approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29 offers favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of just 3.5 knots. September, October, and November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Pilots should prepare for potential reduced visibility, with 14.4% of observations reporting fog conditions and an average visibility of 10 statute miles.
