About Albany Airport
Overview
Albany Airport serves the southern Western Australian region, located near the coastal city of Albany. Situated at an elevation of 233 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides essential transportation infrastructure for the Great Southern region. The airport supports medium-level aviation operations with two distinct runways serving different operational requirements.
Flying Conditions
The airport's coastal location suggests potential for variable wind conditions typical of maritime environments. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts between the two runways (05/23 and 14/32), which offer different orientation options for landing. The airport's ground surface varies, with runway 05/23 being gravel (GVL) and runway 14/32 being asphalt (ASP), which may influence landing and takeoff performance.
Notable Features
Albany Airport is positioned at coordinates -34.943298, 117.808998, indicating a location in the southeastern part of Western Australia. The longer runway 14/32 measures 5,906 feet, providing substantial length for most medium-sized aircraft operations. The presence of two runways with different surface types offers operational flexibility for various aircraft types and weather conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will depend primarily on current wind direction, with runways 05/23 and 14/32 providing crosswind landing options. The gravel runway (05/23) at 3,596 feet and the asphalt runway (14/32) at 5,906 feet give pilots multiple approach alternatives based on aircraft type and current meteorological conditions. Careful attention to surface conditions and wind patterns is recommended when planning approaches to Albany Airport.
