About Enshi Xujiaping Airport
Overview
Enshi Xujiaping Airport serves the Enshi region in Hubei Province, China, providing critical air transportation infrastructure for this mountainous area. As a medium-sized airport situated at 1,605 feet above mean sea level, it supports regional commercial and potential utility aviation operations in a terrain-complex environment.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 1,605 feet MSL indicates a moderate altitude environment with potential for significant temperature and density altitude variations. Pilots should anticipate potential terrain-influenced wind patterns and local microclimate effects typical of the mountainous Enshi landscape.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (01/19) with a substantial length of 6,890 feet constructed of concrete, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical coordinates at 30.320299, 109.485001 place it in a region characterized by significant topographical relief, requiring careful navigation and terrain awareness.
Approach Considerations
The single runway (01/19) suggests potential wind-based runway preference depending on prevailing meteorological conditions. Pilots should prepare for potential terrain-induced wind shear and turbulence, particularly during approach and departure phases, given the airport's mountainous regional context.
