About Barrow Walney Island Airport
Overview
Barrow Walney Island Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Barrow-in-Furness, Great Britain, situated at an elevation of 173 feet mean sea level. The airport serves the local region with multiple runway configurations, providing essential aviation infrastructure for the surrounding area. Its geographical coordinates at 54.128611, -3.267500 place it in a coastal landscape near the Irish Sea.
Flying Conditions
The airport's three asphalted runways offer diverse landing options with varying lengths: Runway 05/23 at 3,438 feet, Runway 12/30 at 1,326 feet, and Runway 17/35 at 3,318 feet. Given its coastal location, pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences including variable wind conditions and potential low visibility scenarios typical of northwest England's maritime climate.
Notable Features
Barrow Walney Island Airport's multi-runway configuration provides operational flexibility for different wind conditions and aircraft types. The substantial runway lengths, particularly the 3,438-foot and 3,318-foot runways, accommodate a range of aircraft sizes and operational requirements. Its proximity to Walney Island suggests potential challenging terrain and wind dynamics that pilots should carefully assess during flight planning.
Approach Considerations
Pilots approaching Barrow Walney Island Airport should carefully evaluate runway selection based on current wind direction, utilizing the three available runway orientations. The varied runway lengths and orientations (05/23, 12/30, and 17/35) provide strategic options for handling different wind vectors and approach scenarios. Careful preflight planning and awareness of local geographical features will be critical for safe operations.
