About Guyuan Liupanshan Airport
Overview
Guyuan Liupanshan Airport serves the Yuanzhou region in China, operating as a medium-sized airport situated at a significant elevation of 5,727 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 36.078889, 106.216944, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Guyuan area, supporting regional transportation and connectivity.
Flying Conditions
The high elevation of 5,727 feet MSL indicates potential challenges with density altitude, which can significantly impact aircraft performance, especially during warmer months. Pilots should carefully calculate takeoff and landing performance, considering the airport's substantial altitude. The single runway (18/36) measuring 9,186 feet provides adequate length but requires careful energy management given the elevated terrain.
Notable Features
Positioned in a region with complex terrain, Guyuan Liupanshan Airport is surrounded by significant geographical variations that can influence local wind patterns and approach conditions. The airport's single runway (18/36) suggests a north-south orientation, which may interact with regional topographical features that create unique wind dynamics and potential turbulence during approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
Runway 18/36's substantial length of 9,186 feet offers pilots flexibility in handling various aircraft types and provides margin for safe operations at the elevated airport environment. Given the high-altitude location, pilots should anticipate potential performance constraints and ensure thorough pre-flight planning, with particular attention to weight, temperature, and aircraft-specific performance limitations.
