About Qingyang Xifeng Airport

Overview

Qingyang Xifeng Airport serves the Qingyang region in China, located at coordinates 35.802638, 107.598896. As a medium-sized airport situated at sea level (0 ft MSL), it provides important regional aviation infrastructure for Gansu Province. The airport supports local transportation needs with its primary runway configuration.

Flying Conditions

The airport's sea-level elevation suggests minimal altitude-related performance considerations for aircraft operations. Being located in inland northwestern China, the region likely experiences significant seasonal temperature and wind variations typical of continental climate zones. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal and wind gradient conditions due to the airport's geographic positioning.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (14/32) with a substantial length of 8,530 feet, accommodating a range of aircraft sizes. Its geographical location in the Qingyang area indicates potential terrain interactions, with likely surrounding plateaus or mountainous landscape characteristics. The runway orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing.

Approach Considerations

Runway 14/32's extended length provides flexibility for various aircraft types and operational requirements. The runway's alignment indicates potential wind exposure from different quadrants, requiring pilots to be prepared for variable wind conditions during approach. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended given the airport's inland location and elevation profile.
