About Tobolsk Airport
Tobolsk Airport is an airport with the ICAO code USTO and the IATA code TOX. Country: Russia. Nearest settlement listed in the database: Tobolsk. OurAirports classifies it as a small airport. Its ICAO code starts with the US prefix, which marks airports in Russia. The four-letter code USTO is used in flight operations and weather reports, while the three-letter IATA code TOX is used for ticketing and baggage handling. The airport reference point sits at 58°08'09"N, 68°13'55"E, at an elevation of 167 ft (51 m) above sea level. The applicable time zone is Asia/Yekaterinburg.

Runways of USTO
| Threshold | Course | Length | Width | Surface |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 07 | 70° | 1,200 m (3,938 ft) | 25 m (82 ft) | asphalt |
| 25 | 250° |
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: 07/25 on 70° and 250° 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 07/25 axis, wind from the south (around 160°) or from the north (around 340°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 70° or 250° 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 USTO
Weather reports for Tobolsk Airport are published under the ICAO code USTO. 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 USTO 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 USTO, check the nearby airports listed below.
Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The Asia/Yekaterinburg zone stays at GMT+05:00 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 Tobolsk Remezov Airport (USTJ, 11 km), Kondinskoye Airport (USHK, 175 km), Plekhanovo Airport (Tyumen) (USTL, 198 km). When no report is available for USTO, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
