About Brisbane International Airport

Overview

Brisbane International Airport serves as a major aviation hub for Queensland, Australia, located at -27.384199, 153.117004. The airport operates with three asphalt runways, accommodating both domestic and international commercial aircraft traffic. Situated at an elevation of 13 feet mean sea level, YBBN provides critical transportation infrastructure for the greater Brisbane metropolitan region.

Flying Conditions

Brisbane's airport experiences subtropical climate conditions that can produce variable wind patterns across its three runways. The primary runways (01L/19R at 10,827 feet and 01R/19L at 11,680 feet) offer substantial length for large commercial aircraft operations. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal activity and associated convective developments typical of the Queensland coastal environment.

Notable Features

The airport's three-runway configuration provides operational flexibility for different wind conditions and aircraft types. Runway 14/32, measuring 5,577 feet, offers an additional crosswind option for smaller aircraft. The relatively low elevation of 13 feet MSL indicates a flat terrain approach environment with minimal terrain-related navigation challenges.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientation suggests potential wind variations, with 01L/19R and 01R/19L providing primary north-south alignment and the 14/32 runway offering an east-west alternative. The substantial runway lengths (over 10,000 feet for the two primary runways) accommodate a wide range of aircraft, from regional commuters to large international wide-body jets. Pilots should review current meteorological conditions to select the most appropriate runway for approach and landing.
