About Bourke Airport
Overview
Bourke Airport serves the remote town of Bourke in northwestern New South Wales, Australia. Located at coordinates -30.039200, 145.951996, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for a sparsely populated region, supporting essential transportation needs for the local community and regional operations.
Flying Conditions
Situated at an elevation of 352 feet above mean sea level, Bourke Airport experiences typical inland Australian climatic conditions with significant temperature variations. Pilots should anticipate potential challenges from high temperatures and variable wind conditions that are common in this arid region.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a primary 6,004-foot asphalt runway (05/23) and a secondary 3,281-foot grass runway (18/36). The diverse runway configuration offers flexibility for aircraft operations under different wind and surface conditions, which is particularly valuable in the challenging outback environment.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23, being the longer asphalt runway, will likely be the preferred surface for most aircraft operations. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and runway length relative to their specific aircraft performance characteristics when planning arrivals and departures at this regional airport.
