About Coonamble Airport

Overview

Coonamble Airport is a medium-sized airport located in New South Wales, Australia, serving the regional area around Coonamble. Situated at an elevation of 604 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local community and surrounding agricultural regions.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation and inland location suggest potential for significant temperature variations and thermal activity, which pilots should anticipate during approach and departure. With two runways - a 5,010-foot asphalted runway (05/23) and a 1,903-foot grass runway (12/30) - the airport offers operational flexibility depending on wind conditions.

Notable Features

The airport's dual runway configuration allows for operations in different wind directions, with runway 05/23 being the primary paved surface. The geographical coordinates (-30.980946, 148.377833) place the airport in a relatively flat terrain characteristic of the New South Wales inland region, which can produce unique meteorological and wind characteristics.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should be prepared to assess wind direction and select the most appropriate runway based on current conditions. The longer asphalted runway (05/23) provides more landing and takeoff options, particularly for larger aircraft or during challenging weather conditions.
