About Chkalovskiy Air Base

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

Overview

Chkalovskiy Air Base is a medium-sized airport located near Moscow, Russia, situated at an elevation of 499 feet above mean sea level. The airport serves as an important military and potentially civil aviation facility in the Moscow region. Its strategic location and substantial runway infrastructure support various aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Located at 55.878300N, 38.061699E, Chkalovskiy experiences typical continental Russian weather patterns with significant seasonal variations. The airport's elevation of 499 ft MSL provides relatively stable atmospheric conditions for most aircraft operations. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature and wind variations consistent with the Moscow region's climate.

Notable Features

The airport features two substantial concrete runways: 12L/30R at 11,811 feet and 12R/30L at 9,842 feet in length. These extensive runway configurations accommodate a wide range of aircraft types and provide operational flexibility for different approach and departure scenarios. The dual runway system allows for potential wind-adaptive operational strategies.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientation of 12/30 suggests predominant wind approaches from northeast to southwest quadrants. The substantial runway lengths of 11,811 and 9,842 feet provide generous landing and takeoff margins for most aircraft classes. Pilots should anticipate standard approach procedures aligned with the runway headings and prepare for potential crosswind conditions typical of the Moscow region.
