About Carnarvon Airport

Overview

Carnarvon Airport serves the coastal town of Carnarvon in Western Australia, situated at approximately 24°53' South latitude and 113°40' East longitude. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 13 feet above mean sea level, it supports regional aviation operations in the northwest coastal region of Western Australia.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal location suggests potential for variable wind conditions and marine-influenced weather patterns. With two asphalt runways (04/22 at 5509 feet and 18/36 at 3740 feet), pilots can expect flexibility in runway selection depending on wind direction and intensity.

Notable Features

Carnarvon Airport is positioned in a relatively flat coastal terrain, which typically provides good visual references for approach and landing. The two perpendicular runways offer crosswind landing options, with orientation that accommodates wind variations common in coastal environments.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/22, being the longer runway at 5509 feet, provides the primary approach avenue for most aircraft operations. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime wind influences and be prepared to utilize the runway alignment that best matches prevailing wind conditions at the time of arrival or departure.
