About Dali Fengyi Airport

Overview

Dali Fengyi Airport serves the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province, China. Located at an elevation of 7,050 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport provides critical air transportation infrastructure for the region. The airport supports regional and potentially some limited commercial aviation operations in this mountainous part of southwestern China.

Flying Conditions

The high-altitude location at 7,050 feet presents significant performance considerations for aircraft operations. Pilots should anticipate reduced engine and lift performance due to the airport's elevated terrain. Seasonal variations in temperature and pressure will further impact aircraft performance, requiring careful weight and balance calculations.

Notable Features

The single runway 17/35 measures 8,202 feet in length and is constructed of asphalt, providing substantial landing infrastructure for medium-sized aircraft. The airport's geographical coordinates at 25.649401, 100.319000 place it in a mountainous region with complex terrain that can generate challenging wind and visibility conditions. Pilots should expect potential terrain-induced wind shear and turbulence.

Approach Considerations

The runway's orientation of 17/35 suggests potential for crosswind landings depending on prevailing wind conditions. With a significant elevation above sea level, pilots must carefully calculate approach speeds, landing distances, and aircraft performance parameters. Standard instrument approach procedures will be critical given the surrounding mountainous topography.
