About Liuzhou Bailian Airport / Bailian Air Base

Liuzhou Bailian Airport / Bailian Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the CN AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Liuzhou Bailian Airport serves the Liuzhou region in Guangxi, China, functioning as a medium-sized airport supporting both civilian and potential military aviation operations. Located at coordinates 24.207500, 109.390999, the airport sits at an elevation of 295 feet mean sea level. Its strategic positioning in southern China provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Liujiang municipal area.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 295 ft MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude environment with potential for variable humidity and temperature conditions typical of subtropical regions. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal weather variations characteristic of southern Chinese geographical zones. The single runway (16/34) measuring 8,202 feet offers substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for most medium-sized aircraft.

Notable Features

Liuzhou Bailian Airport's runway orientation of 16/34 suggests potential crosswind challenges depending on prevailing regional wind patterns. The airport's medium classification indicates it supports a range of aircraft types and operational requirements. Its location near the Liuzhou urban area implies potential complex terrain and urban airspace interactions that require careful navigation planning.

Approach Considerations

Approach procedures should account for the airport's 295 ft elevation and the single runway's substantial 8,202 ft length. Pilots must remain attentive to local wind conditions, particularly potential crosswind components given the runway's directional alignment. Standard instrument approach procedures and local terrain considerations will be critical for safe operations at this airport.
