About Leonora Airport
Overview
Leonora Airport serves the mining and regional transportation needs of Western Australia's Golden Quest region. Located in the central part of Western Australia, this medium-sized airport supports essential connectivity for Leonora, a significant gold mining town situated in the northern Goldfields region.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 1217 ft MSL indicates a moderately elevated terrain environment typical of inland Western Australia. Given its inland location at coordinates -28.878099, 121.315002, pilots can expect variable desert climate conditions with potential for significant temperature fluctuations and potential thermal activity.
Notable Features
The airport features two distinct runways: runway 04/22 with a substantial 6621 ft asphalt surface, and runway 12/30 with a 3740 ft gravel surface. These varied runway configurations provide operational flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions, which is critical in the challenging Australian interior environment.
Approach Considerations
With runways oriented at different angles (04/22 and 12/30), pilots have multiple approach options depending on prevailing wind conditions. The longer asphalt runway (04/22) likely serves as the primary operational surface for larger aircraft and more consistent traffic, while the gravel runway provides alternative landing capabilities.
