About Brewarrina Airport

Overview

Brewarrina Airport serves the remote region of northwestern New South Wales, located in the inland area of Australia. As a medium airport with an elevation of 414 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for a sparsely populated agricultural and pastoral district.

Flying Conditions

The airport's inland location suggests potential for significant temperature variations and potential thermal activity, which pilots should anticipate during approach and departure. Given its geographic coordinates at -29.975792, 146.814380, the airport likely experiences typical inland Australian climate characteristics with potential for rapid weather changes.

Notable Features

The single runway 03/21 measures 4,547 feet long and is surfaced with asphalt, providing adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft operations. The airport's moderate elevation and flat inland terrain suggest relatively straightforward approach and landing conditions with minimal terrain-related complexities.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21 offers flexibility for landing based on prevailing wind conditions, with its orientation allowing for approaches from both north and south headings. Pilots should conduct standard wind assessments during pre-flight planning to determine the most appropriate runway direction for their specific arrival.
