Positioned at coordinates 43.431800, 83.378600, the airport serves the Xinyuan area with an elevation of 3050 feet above mean sea level. Its strategic location provides critical aviation infrastructure in this remote region of northwestern China.

Flying Conditions

Located at a significant elevation of 3050 feet MSL, pilots should anticipate potential performance considerations related to altitude density. The airport's geographical position suggests potential for variable wind conditions typical of mountainous terrain in the Xinjiang region. Temperature and pressure altitude variations will impact aircraft performance, particularly for larger aircraft using the 7546-foot asphalted runway.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (08/26) with a substantial length of 7546 feet, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its elevated position at 3050 feet MSL indicates proximity to mountainous terrain, which may introduce complex wind and approach dynamics. The runway's orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges during certain wind conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 08/26 provides a significant runway length of 7546 feet, offering flexibility for different aircraft types. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and runway heading when planning approaches, considering potential terrain-influenced wind patterns. The airport's elevation and geographical context will require standard high-altitude approach and landing considerations.
