About Krasnoyarsk Cheremshanka Airport
Krasnoyarsk Cheremshanka Airport is an airport with the ICAO code UNKM and the IATA code KCY. Country: Russia. Nearest settlement listed in the database: Krasnoyarsk. OurAirports classifies it as a medium-sized airport. Its ICAO code starts with the UN prefix, which marks airports in Russia. The four-letter code UNKM is used in flight operations and weather reports, while the three-letter IATA code KCY is used for ticketing and baggage handling. The airport reference point sits at 56°10'39"N, 92°32'45"E, at an elevation of 833 ft (254 m) above sea level. The applicable time zone is Asia/Krasnoyarsk.

Runways of UNKM
| Threshold | Course | Length | Width | Surface |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | 110° | 1,800 m (5,905 ft) | 35 m (115 ft) | asphalt |
| 29 | 290° |
The course is derived from the runway designator (number × 10), not from a survey - the actual magnetic bearing can differ by a few degrees.
Declared distances (TORA, TODA, ASDA, LDA) are published in the national AIP - they are not part of this table.
Runway headings and wind
The thresholds are oriented as follows: 11/29 on 110° and 290° magnetic. A threshold designator is its magnetic heading divided by ten (ICAO Annex 14), so the runway axis can be read straight off the numbers.
For the 11/29 axis, wind from the south (around 200°) or from the north (around 20°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 110° or 290° acts along the runway, as a headwind or a tailwind. The decoder on this page computes those components automatically from the current METAR.
METAR and TAF for UNKM
Weather reports for Krasnoyarsk Cheremshanka Airport are published under the ICAO code UNKM. A METAR is an observation of current conditions, usually issued every 30 or 60 minutes; a TAF is a forecast for the airport area, typically covering 9 to 30 hours.
The decoder breaks the UNKM report down into its parts: wind direction and speed including gusts and variability, visibility (including CAVOK and directional minimum visibility), weather phenomena by WMO code, cloud layers with their bases, temperature and dew point, QNH pressure, and the resulting flight category - VFR, MVFR, IFR or LIFR - using FAA thresholds.
Not every airport issues its own reports; many smaller airfields have no weather station. If no current data is available for UNKM, check the nearby airports listed below.
Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The Asia/Krasnoyarsk zone stays at GMT+07:00 year-round, so converting to local time is always the same shift.
The closest airports in the database, measured in a straight line from the reference point, are Krasnoyarsk International Airport (UNKL, 4 km), Kuznetsovo Airfield (UNQK, 38 km), Achinsk Airport (UNKS, 122 km). When no report is available for UNKM, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
