About Gurney Airport
Overview
Gurney Airport serves the Milne Bay Province in Papua New Guinea, located at coordinates -10.311500, 150.334000. As a medium airport situated at an elevation of 88 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential air transportation infrastructure for the region's coastal and rural communities.
Flying Conditions
The airport's tropical maritime location suggests potential for variable weather conditions typical of Papua New Guinea's coastal environments. Pilots should anticipate potential convective activity and localized weather phenomena that can develop quickly in this geographic region.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (09/27) measuring 5,546 feet long with an asphalt surface, which provides adequate length for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its relatively low elevation and coastal positioning suggest potential wind variability and potential sea-level meteorological interactions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 09/27's orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges depending on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should carefully evaluate wind direction and runway alignment during approach and landing, utilizing the full available runway length of 5,546 feet for safe operational planning.
