About Benalla Airport
Overview
Benalla Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Victoria, Australia, serving the Benalla region at an elevation of 569 feet above mean sea level. Situated at coordinates -36.551899, 146.007004, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local area. Its multiple runways support diverse aircraft operations and serve general aviation, training, and regional transport needs.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 569 ft MSL suggests a relatively moderate terrain environment typical of the Victorian regional landscape. With four runways ranging from 2,356 to 3,422 feet in length, the airport offers flexible operational capabilities across different surface types, including grass (GRS) and paved (PER) runways. Pilots should anticipate potential variability in surface conditions, particularly on the grass runways during different seasonal periods.
Notable Features
Benalla Airport features four distinct runways with complementary orientations: 08L/26R and 08R/26L both measuring 3,422 feet, and 17L/35R and 17R/35L each 2,356 feet long. The multiple runway configuration provides operational flexibility, allowing aircraft to select runways based on wind direction and current meteorological conditions. The varied runway surfaces (grass and paved) offer additional operational adaptability for different aircraft types.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection at Benalla Airport will primarily depend on wind vectors and individual aircraft performance characteristics. The parallel runway configurations (08 and 17 series) provide pilots with options for approach and departure, with each runway pair offering similar length and surface characteristics. Pilots should carefully assess current wind conditions and their specific aircraft capabilities when planning approaches and departures.
