About Cangyuan Washan Airport
Overview
Cangyuan Washan Airport serves the Lincang region in southwestern China, specifically located in the Cangyuan area. The airport is classified as a medium-sized airport situated at sea level (0 ft MSL), providing essential aviation infrastructure for the local and regional transportation needs of Yunnan Province.
Flying Conditions
The airport's location at 23.276331° N, 99.373169° E suggests a tropical/subtropical climate with potential significant seasonal weather variations. Pilots should anticipate potential monsoon-influenced conditions that could impact visibility and wind patterns, particularly during transitional seasons.
Notable Features
The airport features a single concrete runway (05/23) with a substantial length of 8,530 feet, capable of accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. Its positioning in a mountainous region of southwestern China implies potential terrain-induced wind shear and turbulence considerations during approach and departure phases.
Approach Considerations
With a runway oriented at 05/23, pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind conditions depending on prevailing regional wind patterns. The concrete runway surface provides reliable ground handling, but careful attention to local terrain and potential atmospheric instability is recommended during all flight phases.
