About Fuyun Koktokay Airport
Overview
Fuyun Koktokay Airport is a medium-sized airport located in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of northwestern China. Situated at coordinates 46.804169, 89.512006, the airport serves the Fuyun area at an elevation of 3,081 feet above mean sea level. Its strategic location supports regional transportation and connectivity in this remote geographical region.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 3,081 feet MSL indicates significant terrain interaction that can create complex meteorological conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature and density altitude variations, particularly during seasonal transitions. The airport's position in northwestern China suggests potential for rapid weather changes and strong wind patterns typical of continental high-altitude environments.
Notable Features
The single runway 12/30 measures 8,530 feet in length, providing substantial operational flexibility for medium-sized aircraft. Its geographical coordinates in the Xinjiang region suggest proximity to mountainous terrain, which can generate challenging wind dynamics and potential turbulence during approach and departure. The airport's moderate elevation requires careful performance calculations, especially for aircraft operating near their weight and environmental limits.
Approach Considerations
Runway 12/30's extended length of 8,530 feet allows for versatile approach options under varying meteorological conditions. Pilots should conduct thorough preflight planning, considering the airport's elevation and potential terrain-induced wind shifts. Standard instrument approach procedures and careful attention to local geographical influences are recommended for safe operations at Fuyun Koktokay Airport.
