Operational Considerations

Telavi Kurdgelauri Airport's 1,496-foot field elevation keeps density altitude effects manageable. Even on warm days, density altitude here tops out around 3,296 feet — within normal performance parameters for most aircraft. The 5,551-foot runway provides approximately 5,302 feet of effective sea-level performance.

Telavi Kurdgelauri 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.
