Weather Briefing
VFRAnshun Huangguoshu Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (30°) at 8 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 11°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. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period.
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.

About Anshun Huangguoshu Airport
Overview
Anshun Huangguoshu Airport serves the Xixiu District of Anshun in Guizhou Province, China. Located at an elevation of 4,812 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport provides regional connectivity in southwestern China. The airport is positioned at coordinates 26.260556°N, 105.873333°E, situated in a mountainous terrain typical of the Guizhou region.
Flying Conditions
The high elevation of 4,812 feet presents significant considerations for aircraft performance and density altitude calculations. Pilots should anticipate potential challenges related to the airport's mountainous location, including potential turbulence and variable wind conditions. Seasonal weather variations in this region can significantly impact approach and departure characteristics.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (08/26) with a substantial length of 9,186 feet, capable of handling medium-sized aircraft. Its elevated position in the Xixiu District means pilots must be prepared for terrain-influenced meteorological conditions and potential rapid weather changes. The surrounding topography suggests potential wind shear and orographic effects that require careful navigation.
Approach Considerations
Runway 08/26 provides a primary approach axis aligned with the local terrain configuration. Given the airport's high elevation, pilots should carefully calculate performance parameters, particularly during warmer periods when density altitude can significantly impact aircraft capabilities. Standard instrument approach procedures will need to account for the surrounding mountainous terrain and potential wind variability.
