About Anshun Huangguoshu Airport

Overview

Anshun Huangguoshu Airport serves the Xixiu District of Anshun in Guizhou Province, China. Located at an elevation of 4,812 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport provides regional connectivity in southwestern China. The airport is positioned at coordinates 26.260556°N, 105.873333°E, situated in a mountainous terrain typical of the Guizhou region.

Flying Conditions

The high elevation of 4,812 feet presents significant considerations for aircraft performance and density altitude calculations. Pilots should anticipate potential challenges related to the airport's mountainous location, including potential turbulence and variable wind conditions. Seasonal weather variations in this region can significantly impact approach and departure characteristics.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (08/26) with a substantial length of 9,186 feet, capable of handling medium-sized aircraft. Its elevated position in the Xixiu District means pilots must be prepared for terrain-influenced meteorological conditions and potential rapid weather changes. The surrounding topography suggests potential wind shear and orographic effects that require careful navigation.

Approach Considerations

Runway 08/26 provides a primary approach axis aligned with the local terrain configuration. Given the airport's high elevation, pilots should carefully calculate performance parameters, particularly during warmer periods when density altitude can significantly impact aircraft capabilities. Standard instrument approach procedures will need to account for the surrounding mountainous terrain and potential wind variability.
