Anqing Tianzhushan Airport / Anqing North Air Base

Anqing Tianzhushan Airport / Anqing North Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the CN AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Anqing Tianzhushan Airport serves the city of Anqing in Anhui Province, China, functioning as both a civilian airport and a military air base. Located at coordinates 30.582199, 117.050003, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the regional area, supporting both commercial and military aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport sits at sea level (0 ft MSL), which eliminates significant altitude-related performance considerations for aircraft. Given its inland location in eastern China, pilots can expect varied seasonal weather conditions that may impact operational planning, with potential wind variations across the primary 06/24 runway.

Notable Features

The airport features a substantial concrete runway measuring 9,186 feet in length, capable of supporting medium-sized aircraft operations. Its dual-purpose civil and military designation suggests potential complex airspace interactions and the need for heightened situational awareness during approach and departure phases.

Approach Considerations

The single runway (06/24) provides flexibility for landing and takeoff based on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should prepare for potential crosswind scenarios and be prepared to utilize the full runway length, which offers substantial operational margins for most aircraft types serving this regional airport.
