About Chongqing Xiannüshan Airport

Overview

Chongqing Xiannüshan Airport serves the Wulong region in China, positioned at an elevation of 1,747 feet above mean sea level. The airport operates a single runway (01/19) with an impressive length of 9,186 feet, constructed with asphalt surface. Its location in the mountainous Chongqing area provides critical transportation infrastructure for the surrounding region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 1,747 feet MSL indicates a moderate terrain environment that can experience varied atmospheric conditions typical of southwestern China. Pilots should anticipate potential orographic weather influences due to the surrounding mountainous landscape. Seasonal temperature and pressure variations will impact aircraft performance, particularly during takeoff and landing operations.

Notable Features

Situated at coordinates 29.465658, 107.693664, Xiannüshan Airport is positioned in a terrain-complex region with significant elevation changes. The single runway oriented at 01/19 suggests potential wind channeling effects between surrounding mountainous features. Pilots should be prepared for potential terrain-induced wind shear and turbulence during approach and departure phases.

Approach Considerations

The 9,186-foot asphalt runway provides substantial landing surface for most medium-sized aircraft operations. Approach planning should account for the airport's elevation and potential terrain-influenced wind patterns. Given the runway's orientation, crosswind considerations will be critical during landing and takeoff procedures, particularly during seasonal wind transition periods.
