About Hay Airport
Overview
Hay Airport is a medium-sized airport located in New South Wales, Australia, serving the regional area around Hay. Positioned at 34.53° South latitude and 144.83° East longitude, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the surrounding agricultural and rural community.
Flying Conditions
The airport sits at an elevation of 305 feet above mean sea level, which influences local atmospheric conditions and aircraft performance. Being in a regional Australian location, pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations and localized wind patterns typical of inland areas.
Notable Features
Hay Airport features two runways with different surface compositions: Runway 04/22 is asphalted and 4,800 feet long, while Runway 15/33 is a gravel surface measuring 3,740 feet. The dual runway configuration provides operational flexibility and allows for different wind and approach scenarios.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should assess current wind conditions to determine optimal runway selection between the two available runways. The substantial length of the primary asphalt runway (04/22) offers good landing and takeoff options, with the secondary gravel runway providing an alternative approach when needed.
