Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 10°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Mist, Fog.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Bengbu Tenghu Airport

Overview

Bengbu Tenghu Airport serves the urban area of Bengbu in Anhui Province, China. As a medium-sized airport located at 32.847733°N, 117.320244°E, it provides regional aviation infrastructure for eastern China. The airport sits at a modest elevation of 100 feet above mean sea level.

Flying Conditions

Bengbu's inland location suggests variable weather conditions typical of central eastern China, with potential for seasonal temperature and wind variations. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature extremes between summer and winter months, which can impact aircraft performance. The airport's relatively low elevation minimizes significant terrain-related atmospheric challenges.

Notable Features

The airport is positioned in a relatively flat geographical region, which likely contributes to straightforward approach and departure paths. Its medium-airport classification indicates moderate infrastructure and potential support for regional commercial and potentially some general aviation operations. The geographical coordinates suggest proximity to the Huai River basin.

Approach Considerations

Given the airport's low elevation and inland location, standard approach procedures should be expected without extreme terrain considerations. Pilots should prepare for potential localized wind patterns typical of the Anhui province region. Standard instrument approach protocols consistent with Chinese aviation regulations will apply at this facility.
