Operational Considerations

At 3,305 feet MSL, Imam Khomeini International Airport operates at moderate elevation. Standard-day density altitude matches field elevation, but summer temperatures can push it above 5,105 feet. The 13,772-foot runway delivers approximately 12,407 feet of sea-level equivalent performance after altitude correction. Pilots transitioning from sea-level airports should plan for longer ground rolls and reduced initial climb performance at Imam Khomeini International Airport.

Imam Khomeini International Airport's temperate latitude produces generally favorable flying conditions with seasonal variation. Winter brings frontal passages that can drop ceilings to IFR minimums for 24-48 hour periods. Freezing precipitation is possible but less persistent than at higher latitudes. Summer convective activity peaks in late afternoon — morning departures typically encounter smoother, clearer conditions. Year-round instrument currency is recommended for reliable scheduling.

Two runways at Imam Khomeini International Airport provide crosswind flexibility. When the primary runway's crosswind component exceeds aircraft limitations, the secondary runway typically offers a more favorable alignment. Runway selection should account for wind, obstacle clearance, and any published procedures.
