About Hamilton Airport
Overview
Hamilton Airport serves the regional transportation needs in western Victoria, Australia, positioned at coordinates -37.648899, 142.065002. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 803 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area and surrounding agricultural regions.
Flying Conditions
The airport's moderate elevation and geographical location suggest potential for variable wind conditions affecting both runway 10/28 and runway 17/35. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal activity and localized weather patterns typical of western Victoria's climate, which can influence approach and landing conditions.
Notable Features
Hamilton Airport features two runways: runway 10/28 with a gravel surface measuring 4,045 feet, and runway 17/35 with an asphalt surface extending 4,606 feet. The presence of two runways with different surface types and orientations provides operational flexibility for aircraft handling varying wind conditions and approach requirements.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will likely depend on current wind vector and preferred approach direction, with the longer asphalt runway 17/35 potentially offering more favorable landing characteristics. Pilots should carefully assess surface conditions, particularly on the gravel runway 10/28, and plan approaches accordingly based on aircraft performance and current meteorological conditions.
