About Taiyuan Wusu International Airport
Overview
Taiyuan Wusu International Airport serves as a critical aviation hub in Shanxi Province, located in the northern part of China. The airport operates as a large international facility supporting commercial and potentially military aviation activities. Situated at an elevation of 2,575 feet mean sea level, the airport provides strategic transportation infrastructure for the Taiyuan metropolitan region.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 2,575 feet MSL suggests potential considerations for aircraft performance, particularly during warmer months or with high-altitude density effects. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature and pressure altitude variations that could impact takeoff and landing performance. The airport's geographic location in northern China indicates potential for significant seasonal weather variations.
Notable Features
The primary runway (13/31) is a substantial 10,500 feet long with a concrete surface, capable of supporting large commercial aircraft operations. Its significant length provides operational flexibility for various aircraft types and weights. The airport's geographic coordinates (37.746899, 112.627998) place it in a region with potentially complex terrain and regional meteorological characteristics.
Approach Considerations
Runway 13/31's orientation suggests potential wind alignment and approach considerations for arriving and departing aircraft. Pilots should carefully review current meteorological conditions and assess wind direction relative to runway heading. The extensive runway length of 10,500 feet offers considerable margin for most commercial aircraft operational requirements.
