About Wuhu Xuanzhou Airport

Overview

Wuhu Xuanzhou Airport serves the Wuhu region in Anhui Province, China, providing essential aviation infrastructure for regional transportation. Located at 31.104500, 118.666870, the airport operates at an elevation of 80 feet mean sea level, positioning it in a relatively low-altitude coastal area. As a medium-sized airport, it supports commercial and potentially general aviation operations in eastern China.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 80 ft MSL suggests a maritime climate with potentially moderate humidity and minimal elevation-related atmospheric variations. Pilots should anticipate typical eastern Chinese coastal weather patterns, which can include seasonal monsoon influences and potential visibility challenges during summer and winter transitional periods. The single runway (06/24) measuring 9,186 feet provides substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for most medium-sized aircraft.

Notable Features

Wuhu Xuanzhou Airport's runway orientation of 06/24 indicates a northwest-southeast alignment, which may influence wind considerations during approach and departure. The airport's geographic location near the Yangtze River delta region suggests potential for complex local terrain and wind patterns that pilots should carefully assess during pre-flight planning. The medium airport classification implies moderate infrastructure and support capabilities.

Approach Considerations

Approaches to runway 06 or 24 will depend on prevailing wind conditions and air traffic control instructions. With a substantial runway length of 9,186 feet, the airport can accommodate a wide range of aircraft types with comfortable margins for landing and takeoff. Pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight weather assessments and be prepared for potential localized wind shifts typical of coastal river delta environments.
