About Inverell Airport

Overview

Inverell Airport serves the regional aviation needs of the New England North West region in New South Wales, Australia. Located at coordinates -29.888300, 151.143997, the airport provides essential infrastructure for general aviation and regional transportation. Situated at an elevation of 2667 feet above mean sea level, the airport offers critical connectivity for the local community and surrounding agricultural areas.

Flying Conditions

The airport's significant elevation at 2667 ft MSL suggests potential variations in density altitude, which pilots should carefully consider during performance calculations. With two runways of different surfaces - a 2297-foot grass runway (04/22) and a longer 6936-foot asphalt runway (16/34) - pilots can expect diverse landing and takeoff options depending on wind conditions and aircraft characteristics. The moderate elevation and regional location likely introduce variable wind patterns that require careful preflight planning.

Notable Features

The substantial difference between the two runways provides operational flexibility for various aircraft types and sizes. The 16/34 runway, at 6936 feet in length, can accommodate larger aircraft and offers significant operational advantages compared to the shorter grass runway. The airport's position in the New England region suggests potential terrain considerations that pilots should evaluate during approach and departure planning.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should carefully assess runway selection based on current wind direction, utilizing the 04/22 and 16/34 runways as appropriate. The substantial length of the 16/34 asphalt runway provides greater options for most aircraft types, particularly in challenging wind conditions. Landing and takeoff performance calculations must account for the airport's 2667-foot elevation, which can significantly impact aircraft performance.
