Weather Briefing

VFR

Huizhou Pingtan Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (180°) at 8 knots. Runway 09/27 is favored with a 0-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3300 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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 30 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain, Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 09:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 09:00Z and 13:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Huizhou Pingtan Airport

Overview

Huizhou Pingtan Airport serves the Huizhou region in southeastern China, situated at an elevation of 50 feet mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport, it provides essential air transportation infrastructure for the local area, connecting Huizhou with broader regional networks. The airport's coordinates at 23.049999, 114.599998 place it in a coastal geographical context.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 50 ft MSL suggests a relatively flat terrain with minimal vertical challenges for approach and landing. Pilots should anticipate typical southeastern Chinese coastal weather patterns, which can include periodic humid conditions and potential seasonal wind variations. The single runway (09/27) measuring 7,874 feet provides adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft operations.

Notable Features

Huizhou Pingtan Airport features a single runway oriented at 09/27, which indicates the primary runway heading is approximately east-west. The airport's coastal location may introduce maritime meteorological influences, potentially creating localized wind shear or turbulence conditions. Pilots should be prepared for potential rapid weather changes typical of coastal environments.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27's substantial length of 7,874 feet offers flexibility for various aircraft types and approach scenarios. Given the east-west orientation, prevailing wind directions will significantly influence runway selection and landing procedures. Standard instrument approach protocols applicable to medium coastal airports in this region should be followed, with careful attention to local wind and visibility conditions.
