Weather Briefing
IFRChangzhou Benniu International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,000 feet and 4 km visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (300°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 4 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 600 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 13°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 24 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: Light Rain, Mist.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Changzhou Benniu International Airport
Overview
Changzhou Benniu International Airport serves the metropolitan area of Changzhou in Jiangsu Province, China. Located at coordinates 31.920485, 119.775460, this medium-sized airport provides regional and potentially limited international commercial aviation services. The airport sits at a low elevation of 33 ft mean sea level, which contributes to relatively stable approach conditions.
Flying Conditions
Changzhou's airport elevation and coastal proximity suggest mild meteorological conditions typical of the Yangtze River Delta region. Seasonal variations will impact local weather, potentially affecting wind patterns across the single 11/29 runway. Pilots should anticipate typical East China climate characteristics, which include humid summers and relatively mild winters.
Notable Features
The airport features a substantial concrete runway measuring 11,155 feet in length, accommodating a wide range of aircraft types. Its geographic location near Changzhou suggests potential interactions with surrounding terrain and urban landscape, which could influence local wind dynamics and approach conditions. The single runway orientation (11/29) provides flexibility for different wind scenarios.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29's extended length of 11,155 feet allows for comfortable approach and landing margins for most commercial and regional aircraft. Given the low elevation and runway configuration, standard instrument approach procedures are likely applicable. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during pre-flight planning, paying particular attention to local geographic influences around the airport.
