About Dehong Mangshi Airport

Overview

Dehong Mangshi Airport serves the Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province, China. Located at coordinates 24.401100, 98.531700, this medium-sized airport provides critical regional transportation infrastructure at an elevation of 2,890 feet above mean sea level. The airport supports commercial and regional aviation operations in southwestern China.

Flying Conditions

Situated at a significant elevation of 2,890 ft MSL, pilots should anticipate potential density altitude considerations, particularly during warmer months. The airport's single concrete runway (05/23) measuring 7,218 feet provides substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for various aircraft types. Regional topography and elevation suggest potential thermal and wind variations typical of mountainous terrain.

Notable Features

The airport's runway configuration (05/23) indicates a primary east-west orientation, which is critical for understanding wind patterns and approach planning. Its concrete surface and considerable length of 7,218 feet accommodate medium-sized aircraft operations with reliable ground performance characteristics. The geographical location in Yunnan Province suggests complex surrounding terrain that may influence local weather and approach dynamics.

Approach Considerations

Runway 05/23 offers a standard east-west alignment, which pilots should consider when evaluating wind components and potential crosswind scenarios. The 7,218-foot concrete runway provides substantial margin for most regional aircraft types, supporting flexible approach and landing strategies. Pilots should be prepared for potential terrain-induced wind shear and turbulence consistent with the airport's mountainous regional setting.
