About Cowra Airport

Overview

Cowra Airport is a medium-sized airport located in New South Wales, Australia, serving the Central West region. Positioned at an elevation of 966 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local agricultural and regional transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation and inland location suggest potential for significant temperature variations and thermal activity. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and thermal turbulence, particularly during summer months, given the airport's geographical positioning in the Central West plains.

Notable Features

The airport features two runways: runway 03/21 with a green surface and 5,348-foot runway 15/33 with an asphalt surface. These dual runway configurations provide operational flexibility for different wind conditions and aircraft types, enhancing the airport's utility for regional aviation.

Approach Considerations

With runways oriented at different angles (03/21 and 15/33), pilots have options for approach based on prevailing wind conditions. The longer 15/33 runway at 5,348 feet offers substantial landing and takeoff capability for medium-sized aircraft operating in the region.
