About Yantai Penglai International Airport
Overview
Yantai Penglai International Airport serves the coastal city of Yantai in Shandong Province, China. Located at coordinates 37.659724, 120.978124, this large airport supports regional and national air transportation needs. The airport sits at an elevation of 154 feet above mean sea level, providing relatively low-altitude operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's coastal location suggests potential for variable maritime weather conditions, with wind patterns likely influenced by proximity to the Bohai Sea. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal variations in visibility and wind direction, particularly during transitional weather periods. The single concrete runway (05/23) measuring 11,155 feet provides substantial landing and takeoff capabilities.
Notable Features
Yantai Penglai International Airport's single runway orientation (05/23) indicates potential crosswind considerations during approach and departure. The airport's geographic position near the coastline may introduce maritime atmospheric conditions that could affect flight operations. Terrain surrounding the airport appears relatively flat, consistent with its low elevation of 154 feet MSL.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23's extensive 11,155-foot length offers significant operational flexibility for various aircraft types. Pilots should prepare for potential maritime wind influences during approach, potentially requiring careful wind assessment prior to landing. The airport's low elevation and coastal positioning suggest standard approach procedures with attention to local wind dynamics.
