About Tengchong Tuofeng Airport
Overview
Tengchong Tuofeng Airport serves the Baoshan region in Yunnan Province, China, providing critical air transportation infrastructure for a mountainous area. Located at 24.938056°N, 98.485833°E, this medium-sized airport supports regional and potentially limited international operations in a geographically challenging terrain.
Flying Conditions
Situated at a significant elevation of 6,250 feet mean sea level, pilots should anticipate higher density altitude conditions that will impact aircraft performance. The airport's mountainous location suggests potential for variable wind conditions and localized weather phenomena typical of high-altitude terrain in southwestern China.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (18/36) measuring 7,710 feet in length, which provides adequate capacity for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its elevated position in the Baoshan region means pilots must be prepared for terrain-induced meteorological variations and potential visual navigation challenges.
Approach Considerations
Given the runway's 18/36 orientation, wind direction will be a critical factor in approach and departure planning. The significant elevation and surrounding mountainous landscape require careful attention to aircraft performance parameters, particularly during takeoff and landing phases.
