About Yueyang Sanhe Airport

Overview

Yueyang Sanhe Airport serves the Yueyang area in Hunan Province, China, providing regional aviation services. Located at 29.311699, 113.281574, the airport operates as a medium-sized facility with a single runway serving commercial and potentially regional transportation needs. The airport's elevation of 230 ft MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude location in the local terrain.

Flying Conditions

Situated in central China, the airport experiences varied seasonal weather conditions typical of the region's subtropical climate. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature and humidity fluctuations that could impact aircraft performance, especially during summer and winter transition periods. The airport's moderate elevation at 230 ft MSL suggests relatively stable atmospheric conditions for most operational periods.

Notable Features

The primary runway (18/36) extends 8,530 feet, providing substantial landing and takeoff capacity for medium-sized aircraft. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges depending on prevailing regional wind patterns. The airport's geographic position in Yueyang indicates proximity to the Yangtze River basin, which may influence local meteorological conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 18/36's significant length of 8,530 feet offers flexibility for various aircraft types and approach scenarios. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and runway alignment when planning arrivals and departures. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended given the airport's medium-sized classification and regional location.
