About Portland Airport
Overview
Portland Airport (YPOD) is a medium-sized airport located in Victoria, Australia, situated at coordinates -38.318100, 141.470993. The airport serves the Portland region, providing critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and supporting local aviation activities at an elevation of 265 ft above mean sea level.
Flying Conditions
The airport's moderate elevation and coastal location suggest potential for variable wind conditions typical of southern Australian maritime environments. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts between the two available runways (08/26 and 17/35), which offer different orientation options to accommodate changing wind directions.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways with different surface compositions: runway 08/26 is asphalted (ASP) and 5,302 feet long, while runway 17/35 is gravel (GVL) and measures 3,871 feet in length. These runway characteristics provide flexibility for different aircraft types and operational requirements, with significant variation in available runway length between the two options.
Approach Considerations
Approach strategies should consider the two available runway options, with runway selection dependent on current wind conditions and aircraft performance characteristics. The primary runway (08/26) offers a longer paved surface, which may be preferable for larger aircraft or during conditions requiring maximum runway length.
