Weather hazards Hi. Please check my little hometask:) Novosibirsk's airport has common weather hazards as all Siberian airports have. Let's start from summertime. In summer heavy rains and thunderstorms are the main enemies of all flights in the vicinity of the aerodrome. The standing water on the runway may result in aircraft aquaplaning and requiring more stopping distance. Also aircraft can be hitted by lightning. Heavy rain during approach makes the approach and runway lighting seem blurred and causes glare. Speaking of winter a major weather problem is snow shower when runway is covered with snow fully and even snow removal services can't make it clean. Another thing is snowdrift or blizzard which makes it impossible to see lighting and ground markers. From time to time, usually in summer and autumn, there are delays of flights due to thick fog on the aerodrome. It is no wonder because a lot of bogs are located behind the runways. In addition I'd like to say that our airport often faces with strong and variable wind. But wind's influence on flights, especially on take-offs and landings, is reduced as there are two runways and as a consequence four runway headings. In spite of all these weather troubles in our airport flights operate with high level of safety, be assured;)
