About Huizhou Pingtan Airport

Overview

Huizhou Pingtan Airport serves the Huizhou region in southeastern China, situated at an elevation of 50 feet mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport, it provides essential air transportation infrastructure for the local area, connecting Huizhou with broader regional networks. The airport's coordinates at 23.049999, 114.599998 place it in a coastal geographical context.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 50 ft MSL suggests a relatively flat terrain with minimal vertical challenges for approach and landing. Pilots should anticipate typical southeastern Chinese coastal weather patterns, which can include periodic humid conditions and potential seasonal wind variations. The single runway (09/27) measuring 7,874 feet provides adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft operations.

Notable Features

Huizhou Pingtan Airport features a single runway oriented at 09/27, which indicates the primary runway heading is approximately east-west. The airport's coastal location may introduce maritime meteorological influences, potentially creating localized wind shear or turbulence conditions. Pilots should be prepared for potential rapid weather changes typical of coastal environments.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27's substantial length of 7,874 feet offers flexibility for various aircraft types and approach scenarios. Given the east-west orientation, prevailing wind directions will significantly influence runway selection and landing procedures. Standard instrument approach protocols applicable to medium coastal airports in this region should be followed, with careful attention to local wind and visibility conditions.
