Weather Briefing
MVFRDandong Langtou Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with clear skies and 6 km visibility. Note: This observation is 122.7 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 13°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Mist.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Dandong Langtou Airport
Overview
Dandong Langtou Airport serves the urban area of Dandong in Liaoning Province, northeastern China. Located near the border with North Korea, this medium-sized airport provides regional connectivity for commercial and potentially military aviation operations. The airport sits at a low elevation of 30 feet mean sea level, facilitating relatively straightforward terrain interaction.
Flying Conditions
The airport's coastal location suggests potential for variable maritime weather conditions, with significant seasonal temperature and wind variations typical of northeastern China. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and reduced visibility during transitional seasons, particularly in spring and autumn. The single runway (01/19) oriented at 010/190 degrees allows for flexible wind-aligned operations.
Notable Features
Dandong's geographic position near the Korea Bay introduces unique navigational considerations for pilots, including potential cross-border airspace interactions. The concrete runway, measuring 8,530 feet in length, supports medium-sized aircraft operations with substantial operational flexibility. Surrounding terrain appears relatively flat, which should provide consistent approach and departure paths.
Approach Considerations
Runway 01 and 19 provide complementary approach options depending on prevailing wind conditions. Given the runway's substantial length and low elevation, most standard transport category aircraft should find operations comfortable and predictable. Pilots should maintain standard cross-border communication protocols and be prepared for potential rapid weather changes characteristic of the region.
