threemiles..
Unless you don't know the winds aloft the data you are requesting are not of any use to you and your magazine.
threemiles -- stay with the facts !
who told you I am with a magazine ?
Maybe it is only a newspaper ?
Itīs none of it. I am just a little pilot...
( ehh, what are windsaloft ? )
I guess, you are one too...
Besides, landing, taxi-in at Almaty in snowy weather, refueling and taxi out including De-Icing and T/O is pretty fast in 45 minutes.
Take a look at the taxi and the approach chart.
I guess you have not been to Almaty before.
It was snowing that day and there is CAT2 only to RWY 23. If you approach via RWY 05 you got backtrack. Watch out for those two little turnpads, the first one probably pretty slippery, because only the smallest birds make it there.
I do not know your taxispeed in these conditions, but I go very safe. I want to retire without a dent.
If you got inbound traffic wait for the other traffic to clear the runway...
And your time is just passing by..
Almaty is definetely not one of the airports you should underestimate.
