Weather Briefing

VFR

Shenyang Taoxian International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 4,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (180°) at 12 knots. Runway 24 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 10-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 21°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 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 Thunderstorm Rain, Heavy Thunderstorm RAGS. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Heavy Thunderstorm RAGS between 02:00Z and 05:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 07:00Z and 10:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Shenyang Taoxian International Airport

Overview

Shenyang Taoxian International Airport serves as a critical transportation hub in northeastern China, located in the Hunnan district of Shenyang. Situated at 198 feet above mean sea level, the airport plays a significant role in both regional and international air transportation for Liaoning Province. Its substantial runway of 10,499 feet enables handling of large commercial aircraft and international traffic.

Flying Conditions

Shenyang's geographic location results in significant seasonal weather variations that pilots must carefully consider. Winter conditions can be particularly challenging, with potential for low visibility and cold-related operational constraints. The airport's elevation of 198 feet MSL provides relatively stable atmospheric conditions compared to more mountainous regions in northeastern China.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (06/24) is constructed of concrete and provides substantial landing capacity for wide-body aircraft. Its geographical coordinates at 41.639801, 123.483002 place it in a region with complex terrain transitioning between urban and regional landscapes. The substantial runway length of 10,499 feet allows for versatile aircraft operations across different weight classes and meteorological conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 06/24 orientation suggests potential wind pattern influences on approach and departure procedures. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind scenarios given the runway's linear east-west alignment. Standard instrument approach procedures will be critical, particularly during seasonal meteorological transitions that can affect visibility and landing conditions.
