About Changbaishan Airport
Overview
Changbaishan Airport serves the Baishan region in northeastern China, located at coordinates 42.066944, 127.602222. As a medium-sized airport situated at an elevation of 2,874 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area and surrounding mountain regions.
Flying Conditions
The airport's significant elevation at 2,874 ft MSL indicates potential for variable atmospheric conditions typical of mountainous terrain. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and temperature variations that can impact aircraft performance, particularly during seasonal transitions in this northern latitude region.

Approach Considerations
The runway's orientation of 01/19 suggests potential crosswind scenarios depending on prevailing regional wind patterns. Pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight planning, considering the airport's elevation and mountainous context when calculating performance parameters and approach strategies.
