About Changzhou Benniu International Airport

Overview

Changzhou Benniu International Airport serves the metropolitan area of Changzhou in Jiangsu Province, China. Located at coordinates 31.920485, 119.775460, this medium-sized airport provides regional and potentially limited international commercial aviation services. The airport sits at a low elevation of 33 ft mean sea level, which contributes to relatively stable approach conditions.

Flying Conditions

Changzhou's airport elevation and coastal proximity suggest mild meteorological conditions typical of the Yangtze River Delta region. Seasonal variations will impact local weather, potentially affecting wind patterns across the single 11/29 runway. Pilots should anticipate typical East China climate characteristics, which include humid summers and relatively mild winters.

Notable Features

The airport features a substantial concrete runway measuring 11,155 feet in length, accommodating a wide range of aircraft types. Its geographic location near Changzhou suggests potential interactions with surrounding terrain and urban landscape, which could influence local wind dynamics and approach conditions. The single runway orientation (11/29) provides flexibility for different wind scenarios.

Approach Considerations

Runway 11/29's extended length of 11,155 feet allows for comfortable approach and landing margins for most commercial and regional aircraft. Given the low elevation and runway configuration, standard instrument approach procedures are likely applicable. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during pre-flight planning, paying particular attention to local geographic influences around the airport.
