About Coonabarabran Airport

Overview

Coonabarabran Airport serves the rural community in northwestern New South Wales, Australia. Located at an elevation of 2117 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the region. The airport features two runways, offering flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions.

Flying Conditions

The airport's significant elevation of 2117 ft MSL means pilots should anticipate potential performance considerations, especially during warmer months. The two runways - a 2129-foot grass runway (01/19) and a 4987-foot asphalt runway (11/29) - provide options for different aircraft capabilities and wind directions. Pilots should expect typical inland Australian terrain characteristics with potential thermal and wind variations.

Notable Features

Coonabarabran Airport's dual runway configuration allows for operational flexibility across different wind conditions. The longer asphalt runway (11/29) at 4987 feet provides accommodation for larger aircraft compared to the shorter grass runway. Its location at coordinates -31.332500, 149.266998 places it in a region characterized by rural terrain and potentially challenging atmospheric conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway selection will depend primarily on wind direction, with the 11/29 asphalt runway offering the most comprehensive approach capabilities. Pilots should carefully assess wind conditions and aircraft performance characteristics given the airport's elevated terrain. The substantial difference between runway lengths (2129ft vs 4987ft) means careful preflight planning is essential for safe operations.
