About Blackwater Airport
Overview
Blackwater Airport serves the central Queensland region, situated in the mining and agricultural heartland of Australia. Located at coordinates -23.603100, 148.807007, the airport provides critical infrastructure for regional aviation connectivity at an elevation of 657 feet above mean sea level.
Flying Conditions
Central Queensland's climate presents variable conditions with potential thermal activity and seasonal wind shifts. Pilots should anticipate temperature fluctuations typical of inland Australian locations, which can significantly impact aircraft performance given the airport's elevation.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (18/36) measuring 5,023 feet with an asphalt surface, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its inland location suggests potential for turbulence and localized wind variations, particularly during afternoon hours in warmer months.
Approach Considerations
Runway 18/36 orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, with winds potentially affecting landing and takeoff procedures. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and runway alignment during pre-flight planning, utilizing current meteorological data to determine optimal approach and departure strategies.
