About Bairnsdale Airport

Overview

Bairnsdale Airport serves the East Gippsland region in Victoria, Australia, functioning as a medium-sized airport located at 165 feet above mean sea level. Situated at coordinates -37.887539, 147.569379, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and potentially supports local agricultural, emergency, and recreational flying operations.

Flying Conditions

Being located in southeastern Victoria, Bairnsdale Airport experiences variable weather conditions typical of the region's temperate climate. The airport's two asphalt runways (04/22 at 3612 feet and 14/32 at 2789 feet) provide flexibility for aircraft operations across different wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and be prepared for potential crosswind landing scenarios.

Notable Features

The airport features two runways with different orientations, which allows for operational adaptability based on wind direction and aircraft requirements. The substantial length of the 04/22 runway (3612 feet) provides accommodation for a range of aircraft types, while the secondary 14/32 runway offers additional operational flexibility. The airport's moderate elevation of 165 feet MSL suggests a relatively flat surrounding terrain.

Approach Considerations

Approach planning should consider the two available runways and their differing lengths and orientations. The longer 04/22 runway may be preferable for larger aircraft or those requiring more runway length. Pilots should analyze current wind conditions to determine the most appropriate runway for landing, utilizing the airport's dual-runway configuration to optimize safety and performance.
