About Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport
Overview
Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport serves as a major aviation hub in southwestern China, located in the Sichuan province. The airport sits at an elevation of 1,625 feet MSL, strategically positioned near the city of Chengdu. It handles significant passenger and cargo traffic, supporting both domestic and international operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 1,625 ft MSL suggests moderate terrain interaction that can influence local weather patterns. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations given the airport's proximity to mountainous regions. Seasonal weather changes in this region can impact flight operations, particularly during transition periods between winter and summer.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways, both 02L/20R and 02R/20L, each measuring 11,811 feet in length. These runways are constructed with asphaltic (ASP) and concrete (CON) surfaces, providing robust infrastructure for various aircraft types. The parallel runway configuration offers operational flexibility and redundancy for air traffic management.
Approach Considerations
Given the parallel runway layout, pilots can expect potential simultaneous approach capabilities depending on air traffic control procedures. The runway orientation (02/20) suggests potential crosswind scenarios, particularly during seasonal wind shifts. Pilots should review current meteorological data and local airport information for specific approach and landing considerations.
