About Cootamundra Airport

Overview

Cootamundra Airport serves the New South Wales regional area, located in the southwestern part of the state. The airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for general aviation, supporting local transportation and agricultural operations in the Riverina region. With two distinct runways, the facility offers flexibility for different aircraft types and operational requirements.

Flying Conditions

Located at an elevation of 1110 feet above mean sea level, Cootamundra Airport experiences typical inland Australian climate conditions with potential significant temperature and wind variations. The two runways (10/28 and 16/34) are constructed with different surface types - 10/28 being a grass surface and 16/34 being asphalt - which can influence landing and takeoff characteristics depending on current weather conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features two runways with significantly different lengths: runway 10/28 at 2805 feet of grass surface, and runway 16/34 at 4682 feet of asphalt surface. The longer asphalt runway provides more operational flexibility for larger aircraft and potentially more challenging wind conditions. The airport's geographical coordinates at -34.624283, 148.036641 place it in a relatively flat inland terrain typical of the New South Wales agricultural region.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should carefully assess current wind conditions given the airport's two-runway configuration, which provides options for different wind alignments. The longer 16/34 asphalt runway offers more robust approach and landing capabilities, particularly for larger or less maneuverable aircraft. Standard visual flight rules (VFR) procedures are recommended, with careful attention to surface conditions, especially on the grass runway during variable weather periods.
