Overview
Sydney Bankstown Airport serves as a critical general aviation hub in the greater Sydney metropolitan area. Located at coordinates -33.923618, 150.990792, the airport provides essential infrastructure for non-commercial and training flight operations at an elevation of 29 feet mean sea level.
Flying Conditions
The airport features three parallel asphalt runways with varying lengths: 11C/29C at 4,644 feet, 11L/29R at 3,609 feet, and 11R/29L at 3,419 feet. These multiple runway options provide flexibility for pilots based on wind conditions and traffic patterns, with the longest runway offering the most operational versatility.
Notable Features

Approach Considerations
Pilots should pay careful attention to the runway lengths when planning operations, with 11C/29C offering the most runway distance for takeoff and landing. The airport's low elevation of 29 feet MSL indicates a relatively flat terrain environment, which can contribute to predictable approach and departure conditions.
