About Barcaldine Airport
Overview
Barcaldine Airport serves the central Queensland region, located in the town of Barcaldine. Situated at an elevation of 878 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical infrastructure for regional aviation operations in this part of Australia.
Flying Conditions
Central Queensland's climate presents variable weather conditions that pilots must carefully monitor. The airport's medium classification and dual runway configuration (01/19 and 14/32) offer flexibility for operations under different wind and atmospheric conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two distinct runways: a longer 5,591-foot asphalted runway (01/19) and a shorter 3,104-foot clay runway (14/32). Its geographic coordinates at -23.566268, 145.302086 place it in a region characterized by open terrain typical of the Australian interior.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will depend primarily on current wind direction, with the longer 01/19 runway providing more landing options for larger aircraft. Pilots should carefully assess runway surface conditions, particularly on the clay runway (14/32), which may have different friction characteristics compared to the asphalted surface.
