About Blackall Airport

Overview

Blackall Airport serves the rural community of Blackall in central Queensland, Australia. Situated at an elevation of 928 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical infrastructure for regional transportation and supports local aviation needs in the remote inland area.

Flying Conditions

The airport's inland location suggests potential for significant temperature variations and thermal activity typical of central Queensland. Pilots should anticipate potential wind conditions that could impact the two available runways - 06/24 (5538ft asphalted) and 12/30 (5259ft clay), with wind direction potentially influencing runway selection.

Notable Features

Blackall Airport features two runways with different surface types, offering operational flexibility for various aircraft. The airport's moderate elevation and geographic position in central Queensland means terrain is likely relatively flat, with minimal immediate geographical obstructions that would complicate standard approach and departure procedures.

Approach Considerations

With runways oriented at 06/24 and 12/30, pilots should assess prevailing wind conditions to determine optimal runway selection. The substantial runway lengths of 5538ft and 5259ft provide adequate space for most regional and medium-sized aircraft operations, supporting safe takeoffs and landings in the region's potentially challenging environmental conditions.
