About Orsk Airport

Overview

Orsk Airport serves the urban area of Orsk in Russia, located at coordinates 51.072498, 58.595600 with an elevation of 909 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region, supporting both commercial and potentially regional transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Orsk Airport exhibit significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) predominating at 53.8% of observations. Temperature ranges dramatically from -31°C to 30°C, with an average of -1.9°C, indicating challenging winter operations. Pilots can expect relatively good visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with fog present in approximately 10% of observations.

Notable Features

The airport features multiple runways with varying surfaces: a 9,514-foot asphalted primary runway (07/25), complemented by three additional grass/gravel runways ranging from 1,980 to 5,840 feet. Its mid-latitude location suggests potential for rapidly changing meteorological conditions, particularly during seasonal transitions.

Approach Considerations

Approach planning should consider the airport's diverse runway configuration, with the primary 07/25 asphalted runway offering the longest and most robust surface. September through November represent the most statistically favorable months for VFR conditions, potentially providing more predictable approach and landing scenarios for pilots.
