About Robertson Airport
Overview
Robertson Airport serves the agricultural region of the Western Cape, situated at an elevation of 640 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates -33.812199, 19.902800, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Robertson area, supporting regional transportation and local agricultural operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences typical Western Cape climate conditions, with potential variability affecting runway conditions. Pilots should pay special attention to the grass runway 14/32, which requires caution due to reported mole activity that could impact surface consistency and aircraft handling.
Notable Features
Robertson Airport features two runways: the primary 10/28 runway is 4,921 feet long with an asphalt surface and offers Avgas refueling capabilities. The secondary runway 14/32 is a 2,395-foot grass surface, presenting different operational considerations for pilots depending on aircraft type and current ground conditions.
Approach Considerations
Approach strategies should consider the airport's dual runway configuration and local terrain characteristics. Pilots should be prepared to select between the asphalt and grass runways based on aircraft specifications, current weather conditions, and potential surface irregularities, particularly on the grass runway where mole activity may create uneven terrain.
