About Lincang Boshang Airport

Overview

Lincang Boshang Airport serves the Lincang region in Yunnan Province, China, providing critical air transportation infrastructure for this southwestern area. Located at coordinates 23.738100, 100.025002, the airport operates as a medium-sized facility that supports regional and potentially limited commercial aviation needs.

Flying Conditions

Situated at a significant elevation of 6,230 feet mean sea level, pilots should anticipate high-altitude flying conditions that impact aircraft performance and atmospheric density. The airport's mountainous location in Yunnan Province suggests potential for variable weather patterns, including potential turbulence and rapid meteorological changes typical of elevated terrain.

Notable Features

The single runway (16/34) extends 7,874 feet, providing substantial length for aircraft operations at this high-elevation airport. The geographical positioning in southwestern China indicates a complex terrain environment, with surrounding mountainous landscapes that could present challenges for navigation and approach procedures.

Approach Considerations

Runway 16/34's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing, particularly given the airport's elevated and potentially turbulent location. Pilots should prepare for high-altitude performance calculations and potential wind variability when planning operations at Lincang Boshang Airport.
