About Lijiang Sanyi International Airport
Overview
Lijiang Sanyi International Airport serves the Yunnan Province region in southwestern China, situated at an elevation of 7,359 feet mean sea level. The airport provides air connectivity for Lijiang, a key city in the Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. As a medium-sized international airport, it supports regional and national air transportation needs.
Flying Conditions
Located at high altitude, the airport's 7,359-foot elevation presents significant performance considerations for aircraft operations. Pilots should anticipate reduced engine and aerodynamic performance due to the thin air at this mountainous location. Seasonal weather variations in this region can create challenging approach conditions, particularly during winter and transitional months.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (02/20) measuring 9,843 feet in length, constructed with asphalt surface. Its geographic coordinates at 26.680000, 100.246002 place it in a mountainous terrain environment characteristic of the Yunnan plateau region. The surrounding landscape includes significant elevation changes that can impact wind patterns and approach dynamics.
Approach Considerations
Runway 02/20's substantial length of 9,843 feet provides flexibility for various aircraft types operating at high altitude. Pilots should carefully calculate performance parameters, considering the elevation's impact on takeoff and landing distances. Wind assessment and careful navigation are critical given the airport's mountainous surrounding terrain.
