About Foshan Shadi Airport

Overview

Foshan Shadi Airport serves the Nanhai district of Foshan, located in Guangdong Province, China. As a medium-sized airport situated at a low elevation of 6 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Pearl River Delta region. The airport's single runway (01/19) extends 9,186 feet, supporting regional commercial and potentially general aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation and proximity to the Pearl River Delta suggest potential for humidity and variable wind conditions typical of southern China's subtropical climate. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal weather variations, including potential monsoon influences during summer months. The airport's geographic location may experience localized convection and maritime weather patterns.

Notable Features

Situated at coordinates 23.082500, 113.070833, Foshan Shadi Airport is positioned in a relatively flat coastal region with minimal terrain challenges. The single runway orientation (01/19) indicates potential for crosswind considerations during approach and landing. The low elevation suggests minimal altitude-related performance constraints for aircraft operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 01/19's substantial length of 9,186 feet provides significant operational flexibility for most medium-sized aircraft. Approach planning should consider potential wind variations given the airport's coastal location. Pilots should prepare standard procedures for a low-elevation airport with minimal surrounding terrain interference.
