About Yangzhou Taizhou Airport

Overview

Yangzhou Taizhou Airport serves the Jiangsu province region in eastern China, situated near the cities of Yangzhou and Taizhou. As a medium-sized airport with a significant runway length of 10,499 feet, the facility supports regional and potentially some longer-haul commercial aviation operations. The airport's low elevation of 7 feet MSL indicates it is located in a flat coastal plain characteristic of the lower Yangtze River delta region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation and coastal location suggest potential for variable weather conditions, including potential fog and maritime air masses. Pilots should anticipate potential visibility challenges, particularly during transitional seasons when maritime and continental air masses interact. The runway's orientation of 17/35 provides some wind direction flexibility for operations.

Notable Features

Located at coordinates 32.563400, 119.719800, the airport is positioned in a relatively flat geographical area with minimal terrain complexity. The substantial runway length of 10,499 feet (concrete surface) indicates the facility can accommodate a wide range of aircraft types and provides significant operational flexibility. Its proximity to major population centers in the Yangtze River delta suggests it serves both commercial and potential regional transportation needs.

Approach Considerations

The runway's 17/35 orientation suggests wind-dependent approach strategies, with potential crosswind considerations during certain meteorological conditions. The concrete runway surface and extensive length provide good landing characteristics for most commercial aircraft. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and approach briefings, paying particular attention to local wind patterns and potential maritime weather influences.
