About Changhai Airport

Overview

Changhai Airport serves the Dalian region in northeastern China, situated in the Changhai County area. Located at an elevation of 80 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the local coastal area. The airport's geographical positioning at coordinates 39.266667, 122.666944 places it in a strategically important maritime region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal location suggests potential for variable wind conditions and maritime weather patterns typical of the Bohai Sea region. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and reduced visibility during seasonal transitions, particularly during late autumn and winter months. The relatively low elevation of 80 feet MSL indicates minimal terrain-related atmospheric complexities.

Notable Features

The single runway (17/35) measuring 2,789 feet demonstrates the airport's medium-scale operational capacity. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, with the runway aligned approximately north-south. The proximity to maritime terrain likely introduces complex local wind dynamics that pilots must carefully assess during approach and departure.

Approach Considerations

Runway 17/35 requires careful wind assessment given its alignment and the surrounding coastal geography. Pilots should prepare for potential crosswind conditions and be prepared to adjust approach strategies accordingly. The modest runway length of 2,789 feet necessitates precise aircraft performance calculations and conservative approach planning.
