Weather Briefing

IFR

Yangzhou Taizhou Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,000 feet and 9 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northeast (40°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 9 km. The ceiling is 700 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 12°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: Light Rain, Mist, Partial Fog, Mist.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Yangzhou Taizhou Airport

Overview

Yangzhou Taizhou Airport serves the Jiangsu province region in eastern China, situated near the cities of Yangzhou and Taizhou. As a medium-sized airport with a significant runway length of 10,499 feet, the facility supports regional and potentially some longer-haul commercial aviation operations. The airport's low elevation of 7 feet MSL indicates it is located in a flat coastal plain characteristic of the lower Yangtze River delta region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation and coastal location suggest potential for variable weather conditions, including potential fog and maritime air masses. Pilots should anticipate potential visibility challenges, particularly during transitional seasons when maritime and continental air masses interact. The runway's orientation of 17/35 provides some wind direction flexibility for operations.

Notable Features

Located at coordinates 32.563400, 119.719800, the airport is positioned in a relatively flat geographical area with minimal terrain complexity. The substantial runway length of 10,499 feet (concrete surface) indicates the facility can accommodate a wide range of aircraft types and provides significant operational flexibility. Its proximity to major population centers in the Yangtze River delta suggests it serves both commercial and potential regional transportation needs.

Approach Considerations

The runway's 17/35 orientation suggests wind-dependent approach strategies, with potential crosswind considerations during certain meteorological conditions. The concrete runway surface and extensive length provide good landing characteristics for most commercial aircraft. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and approach briefings, paying particular attention to local wind patterns and potential maritime weather influences.
