About Sunan Shuofang International Airport

Overview

Sunan Shuofang International Airport serves the metropolitan area of Wuxi, located in Jiangsu Province, China. As a medium-sized international airport positioned at 24 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region's transportation needs. The airport supports commercial passenger and cargo operations in this economically significant area of eastern China.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 24 ft MSL indicates a generally flat terrain environment with minimal altitude-related complexities for aircraft operations. Located at coordinates 31.494400, 120.429001, the airport experiences typical subtropical climate conditions characteristic of the Yangtze River Delta region. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal variations in temperature and humidity that could impact aircraft performance.

Notable Features

The single runway 03/21 provides a substantial 10,499-foot asphalt surface, offering considerable operational flexibility for various aircraft types. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing, which pilots should assess during pre-flight planning. The runway's length accommodates most commercial and regional aircraft operating in the region.

Approach Considerations

Approach strategies should consider the runway's 03/21 orientation and potential wind conditions at the 24 ft MSL elevation. The extensive 10,499-foot runway length provides significant margin for landing and takeoff performance across different aircraft categories. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and weather assessments specific to the Wuxi area when planning operations into Sunan Shuofang International Airport.
