About Woodbourne Airport

Overview

Woodbourne Airport serves the Blenheim region in New Zealand, situated at 109 feet above mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport with three runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Marlborough area, supporting both civilian and potential military aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Located at coordinates -41.518299, 173.869995, Woodbourne experiences typical maritime climate conditions characteristic of New Zealand's South Island. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations given the airport's coastal proximity, with runway orientations (06L/24R, 06R/24L, and 10/28) designed to accommodate different wind directions.

Notable Features

The airport features three runways with varying surfaces: two 4,675-foot runways (06L/24R and 06R/24L) with green (GRE) and asphalted (ASP) surfaces, and a 3,878-foot green surface runway (10/28). Its moderate elevation of 109 feet MSL provides relatively straightforward terrain considerations for approaching aircraft.

Approach Considerations

Runway selection will primarily depend on prevailing wind conditions, with the parallel 06L/24R and 06R/24L runways offering flexibility for different wind scenarios. The additional 10/28 runway provides further operational versatility for pilots navigating the local wind patterns around Blenheim.
