About Dirranbandi Airport

Overview

Dirranbandi Airport is a medium-sized airport located in southeastern Queensland, Australia. Situated at 567 feet above mean sea level with coordinates -28.587912, 148.217161, the airport serves the local rural community in the Maranoa Region. Its single runway provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and potential agricultural support operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 567 feet MSL suggests a relatively stable atmospheric environment typical of inland Queensland. Given its geographic location, pilots can expect variable weather conditions that are characteristic of the region's semi-arid climate, with potential for significant temperature fluctuations and occasional challenging wind conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (01/19) measuring 3,993 feet long with an asphalt surface. Its moderate length and surface type make it suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations, supporting regional connectivity and potential agricultural or charter flight services. The surrounding terrain is likely to be flat, consistent with the geographical characteristics of inland Queensland.

Approach Considerations

Runway 01/19 provides directional flexibility for landings and takeoffs, with potential wind variations requiring careful assessment during approach. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments, utilizing the runway's full 3,993-foot length and considering the airport's elevation when calculating performance parameters for their specific aircraft.
