Rostov is quite a tricky airport on bad weather, all the area is. On 2 ocassions I couldnīt land there and GA to Anapa and Krasnodar which is quite close for pax. Also runway is sleepery due to tyre residues on touchdown and rwy 22 is upslope giving you false approach sensations

But if locals donīt land there neither do I, even if you have enormous amounts of fuel on board. This pushing crews to the limit is getting nosense.
