About Jingzhou Shashi Airport

Overview

Jingzhou Shashi Airport serves the Jingzhou area in China's Hubei Province, functioning as a medium-sized regional airport. Located at coordinates 30.292810, 112.448540, the airport provides essential transportation infrastructure for the surrounding metropolitan region. Its elevation of 95 feet above mean sea level positions it in a relatively low-lying terrain environment.

Flying Conditions

The airport's moderate elevation suggests a generally stable atmospheric environment with minimal extreme altitude challenges. Being situated in central China, the airport likely experiences seasonal variations typical of the region, including potential summer thermal activity and potential winter low-pressure systems. Pilots should anticipate standard regional meteorological conditions that correspond with the airport's geographical location.

Notable Features

The airport features a single concrete runway (01/19) with a substantial length of 8,530 feet, which supports a wide range of aircraft operations. Its runway orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing, particularly given the geographic characteristics of the Jingzhou region. The runway's considerable length provides flexibility for various aircraft types and operational requirements.

Approach Considerations

Runway 01/19's orientation indicates potential wind-dependent approach strategies, with pilots needing to assess prevailing wind conditions during arrival. The concrete runway surface and significant length of 8,530 feet offer robust landing capabilities for most regional and medium-haul aircraft. Standard approach procedures should be adapted to local terrain and current meteorological conditions specific to the Jingzhou area.
