About Yan'an Nanniwan Airport
Overview
Yan'an Nanniwan Airport serves the Yan'an region in Shaanxi Province, located in northwestern China. Situated near the city of Baota, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the local area. The airport supports regional commercial and potentially military aviation operations in this historically significant part of China.
Flying Conditions
The airport's location at sea level (0 ft MSL) suggests relatively stable atmospheric conditions with minimal elevation-related performance considerations for aircraft. Northwestern China typically experiences continental climate patterns with significant seasonal temperature variations, which could impact aircraft performance and operations. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations along the 17/35 runway orientation.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (17/35) with a substantial length of 9,843 feet, accommodating a wide range of aircraft types and sizes. Its geographical coordinates at 36.479413, 109.464083 place the airport in a region with potential terrain complexity typical of northwestern Chinese landscapes. The runway's length provides flexibility for different aircraft operational requirements.
Approach Considerations
The single runway's 17/35 orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. Pilots should prepare for potential wind shifts and be prepared to use appropriate crosswind landing techniques. Standard instrument approach procedures and local air traffic control guidance will be essential for safe navigation to and from Yan'an Nanniwan Airport.
