About Beijing Xijiao Airport

Overview

Beijing Xijiao Airport serves the Beijing metropolitan area as a medium-sized airport located at coordinates 39.958592, 116.256765. Situated at an elevation of 164 feet mean sea level, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the region's transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

Located in Beijing's climate zone, the airport experiences significant seasonal temperature variations that can impact aircraft performance. Pilots should be prepared for potential density altitude changes throughout the year, with the airport's modest elevation of 164 feet potentially interacting with seasonal temperature extremes.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (18/36) that is paved and aligned in a north-south orientation. Its proximity to Beijing suggests potential complex airspace interactions and the need for precise navigation and communication in a busy metropolitan aviation environment.

Approach Considerations

The runway's 18/36 alignment indicates potential crosswind considerations depending on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should be prepared to manage wind variability and utilize appropriate crosswind landing techniques when approaching this airport's single runway.
