Weather Briefing
MVFRNantong Xingdong International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northeast (50°) at 10 knots. Runway 36 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1300 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 10°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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.

About Nantong Xingdong International Airport
Overview
Nantong Xingdong International Airport serves the Nantong (Tongzhou) region in eastern China, situated at a low elevation of 16 feet mean sea level. As a medium-sized international airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Jiangsu province, supporting regional and potentially international commercial and cargo operations.
Flying Conditions
Located near the eastern coast of China, the airport experiences typical maritime climate conditions with potential for variable wind patterns. The single runway's substantial length of 11,155 feet provides excellent operational flexibility for most commercial aircraft types, with concrete surface construction ensuring reliable ground handling across seasonal variations.
Notable Features
The airport's 18/36 oriented runway indicates a north-south alignment, which is typical for airports in this geographical region. Its low elevation of 16 feet MSL suggests minimal terrain interference and relatively straightforward approach and departure procedures for pilots navigating the coastal landscape.
Approach Considerations
With a single runway of significant length, pilots can expect standard north-south approach options depending on prevailing wind conditions. The concrete runway surface at 11,155 feet provides ample space for most aircraft categories, allowing for comfortable landing and takeoff operations with good margin for error.
