About Ningbo Lishe International Airport

Overview

Ningbo Lishe International Airport serves the major industrial city of Ningbo in Zhejiang Province, China. Located at 29.8267°N, 121.462°E with an elevation of 13 feet MSL, the airport is a significant transportation hub for the region's commercial and passenger traffic. It supports large aircraft operations with a substantial runway measuring 10,499 feet in length.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 13 feet suggests minimal terrain-induced weather complications. Situated on the eastern coast of China, the airport likely experiences maritime climate influences with potential sea-level visibility and wind variations. Pilots should anticipate potential coastal weather patterns that can affect approach and departure conditions.

Notable Features

The single runway (13/31) is constructed of concrete and provides substantial length at 10,499 feet, accommodating wide-body and long-haul aircraft operations. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind management considerations during approach and departure phases. The airport's coastal location may introduce dynamic wind conditions requiring careful navigation.

Approach Considerations

Runway 13/31's extensive length provides operational flexibility for various aircraft types and weights. Given the airport's coastal positioning, pilots should be prepared for potential wind shifts and maritime meteorological influences during approach. Standard instrument approach procedures should be carefully reviewed, with particular attention to local wind patterns and potential sea-level meteorological variations.
