About Nanchang Changbei International Airport

Overview

Nanchang Changbei International Airport serves the Jiangxi province capital of Nanchang, located in southeastern China. As a large international airport situated at 143 feet mean sea level, it provides critical air transportation infrastructure for the region. The airport supports commercial passenger and cargo operations with its substantial runway infrastructure.

Flying Conditions

Situated at a low elevation of 143 ft MSL, Nanchang Changbei experiences relatively mild terrain-related atmospheric conditions. The airport's geographical position in southeastern China suggests potential for varied seasonal weather patterns, which could impact flight operations. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature and humidity variations characteristic of the region.

Notable Features

The airport features a substantial runway 03/21 measuring 11,155 feet in length, constructed with concrete (CON) surface. This extended runway configuration allows for accommodating a wide range of aircraft types and provides operational flexibility. The airport's coordinates at 28.864815, 115.902710 place it in a relatively flat geographical context.

Approach Considerations

With a single primary runway oriented 03/21, pilots should prepare for potential crosswind scenarios depending on prevailing wind conditions. The long 11,155-foot concrete runway provides significant landing and takeoff margin for most commercial aircraft. Standard instrument approach procedures will be applicable given the airport's international classification.
