Weather Briefing

VFR

Kaili Huangping Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 12 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3600 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 15°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Kaili Huangping Airport

Overview

Kaili Huangping Airport serves the Kaili area in Guizhou Province, China, functioning as a medium-sized regional airport. Located at coordinates 26.972000, 107.988000, the airport provides essential air transportation infrastructure for the mountainous southwestern region of China. Its elevation of 3,115 feet MSL indicates a significant terrain height that pilots must consider during flight operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's high elevation of 3,115 feet MSL suggests challenging atmospheric conditions typical of mountainous terrain in southwestern China. Pilots should anticipate potential performance limitations due to altitude density effects, particularly during warmer months when air density decreases. Temperature variations and potential orographic weather phenomena are likely significant factors in local flying conditions.

Notable Features

Situated in a mountainous region, Kaili Huangping Airport features a single runway (04/22) with a substantial length of 8,530 feet. The airport's geographic positioning in Guizhou Province implies complex surrounding terrain that could generate localized wind patterns and potential turbulence. Pilots should be prepared for terrain-induced meteorological variations that are characteristic of this mountainous landscape.

Approach Considerations

The runway's orientation of 04/22 suggests potential wind alignment considerations during approach and departure phases. With 8,530 feet of runway length, the airport provides adequate space for most medium-sized aircraft operations. Careful attention to terrain, elevation, and potential wind shear is recommended when planning approaches to this mountain-region airport.
