About Coen Airport
Overview
Coen Airport serves the remote community of Coen in far north Queensland, Australia. Located at coordinates -13.761133, 143.113311, this medium airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Cape York Peninsula region. The airport supports regional connectivity at an elevation of 532 feet mean sea level.
Flying Conditions
The airport's tropical northern Queensland location suggests potential for variable weather conditions typical of the region's wet and dry seasons. Pilots should anticipate potential convective activity and rapid weather changes characteristic of Cape York's climate. The airport's elevation at 532 ft MSL provides moderate terrain interaction for approaching aircraft.
Notable Features
The airport features a single asphalt runway (11/29) with a substantial length of 4,107 feet, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical position in a relatively remote area means pilots should be prepared for limited immediate ground support infrastructure. The runway's orientation suggests potential wind variations that could impact landing and takeoff procedures.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29 provides the primary approach and departure avenue for aircraft utilizing Coen Airport. Given the runway's length and surface type, pilots should conduct standard terrain and approach assessments consistent with regional airport operations. Standard meteorological and wind assessment protocols are recommended prior to arrival or departure.
