About Rizhao Shanzihe Airport

Overview

Rizhao Shanzihe Airport serves the coastal city of Rizhao in Shandong Province, China. Located at coordinates 35.405033, 119.324403, this medium-sized airport operates at an elevation of 121 feet above mean sea level. The airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Donggang region, supporting regional and potentially commercial aviation needs.

Flying Conditions

Situated near the coast, Rizhao Shanzihe Airport experiences maritime climate influences that can produce variable weather conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential sea-level meteorological variations, including potential marine layer formations and coastal wind patterns. The airport's relatively low elevation at 121 ft MSL suggests minimal terrain-related atmospheric complexities.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (13/31) with a substantial length of 8,530 feet, accommodating a range of aircraft types. Its coastal location near 35.4° North latitude indicates potential exposure to seasonal wind shifts and maritime weather systems. The terrain surrounding the airport appears to be relatively flat, consistent with its low elevation profile.

Approach Considerations

Runway 13/31's extended length provides flexibility for approach and departure operations. Given the airport's coastal positioning, wind conditions may influence preferred runway selection, with careful attention to crosswind components. Pilots should prepare for potential maritime weather influences during approach and landing phases.
