About Weifang Nanyuan Airport

Overview

Weifang Nanyuan Airport serves the Kuiwen District of Weifang city in eastern China's Shandong Province. As a medium-sized airport situated at sea level (0 ft MSL), it provides regional aviation infrastructure for the surrounding metropolitan and industrial areas.

Flying Conditions

Weifang's location suggests a continental monsoon climate with potential seasonal wind variations. The single concrete runway (17/35) measuring 8,530 feet provides substantial length for most medium-sized aircraft operations, offering flexibility across different weather conditions.

Notable Features

The airport's sea-level elevation eliminates significant terrain challenges for approach and departure procedures. Its geographic coordinates (36.646702, 119.119003) place it in a relatively flat coastal region of eastern China, which typically presents stable atmospheric conditions for aviation.

Approach Considerations

The runway's 17/35 orientation indicates potential crosswind scenarios depending on prevailing regional wind patterns. Pilots should anticipate standard approach procedures considering the runway's substantial 8,530-foot concrete surface, which can accommodate a range of aircraft types and operational requirements.
