About Gunnedah Airport

Overview

Gunnedah Airport serves the regional area of New South Wales, Australia, located at coordinates -30.957511, 150.248981. Situated at an elevation of 863 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local community and surrounding agricultural regions.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 863 ft MSL indicates a moderate terrain environment typical of inland New South Wales. With two distinct runways - a 5,400 ft asphalt runway (11/29) and a 1,942 ft grass runway (17/35) - pilots can expect flexibility in landing configurations depending on wind conditions and aircraft characteristics.

Notable Features

The dual runway configuration at Gunnedah Airport offers operational versatility, with surfaces accommodating different aircraft types and wind scenarios. The primary 11/29 runway's substantial 5,400 ft length supports medium-sized aircraft operations, while the shorter grass runway 17/35 provides alternative landing options.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should carefully evaluate wind direction when selecting runways, considering the airport's two distinct runway orientations. The asphalt runway 11/29 provides the primary approach surface, with its extended length offering more operational flexibility for incoming aircraft.
