Zvartnots, Armenia Runway
I understand that there is a sizable bump in the runway at Zvartnots. Can someone describe this “bump.” Is it a pot hole or more of rise and fall in the runway slope? Where is it located – how far down the runway is it (either from 9 or 27 direction?
Thanks for any information that you can provide.

Used to fly there a lot, before and after the runway repairs. Bump or not, be aware that the surface is so poor that it felt as though the aircraft (A320) was going to fall apart. From memory, the surface is rough over the entire length. Always used full power for take-off just to minimise the discomfort. Can't remember the bump, probably because it was always dark!!
