About Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport

Overview

Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport serves the Zhoushan archipelago, located in Zhejiang Province, eastern China. Situated at a low elevation of 3 feet mean sea level, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for this island region. It supports medium-sized aircraft operations with its single runway oriented in the 18/36 configuration.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal location at 29.934200, 122.362000 suggests maritime weather influences with potential for variable wind conditions. Proximity to the East China Sea likely introduces marine atmospheric patterns that can create dynamic wind shifts and potential visibility challenges. Pilots should anticipate potential sea-level meteorological variations typical of island airport environments.

Notable Features

The airport's low elevation of 3 ft MSL indicates a flat terrain profile with minimal geographic obstructions. Its 7,546-foot runway provides substantial landing and takeoff length for medium-sized aircraft operations. The geographic positioning in the Zhoushan archipelago suggests potential for complex local wind patterns generated by island and sea interactions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 18/36 offers a straight-in approach alignment aligned with cardinal directions. The substantial runway length of 7,546 feet provides flexibility for various aircraft types and operational scenarios. Pilots should prepare for potential maritime wind variations that could impact approach and landing stability, particularly during seasonal transition periods.
