About Echuca Airport
Overview
Echuca Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Victoria, Australia, serving the Echuca region. Situated at an elevation of 323 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local community and regional transportation needs.
Flying Conditions
The airport features two runways with different surface types and lengths: Runway 05/23 is a gravel surface measuring 1,674 feet, while Runway 17/35 is an asphalt surface extending 3,615 feet. These runways offer pilots flexibility in operations depending on wind conditions and aircraft performance requirements.
Notable Features
The airport's coordinates at -36.157200, 144.761993 place it in a relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Victorian plains region. The variation in runway surfaces and lengths suggests the airport supports diverse aircraft types, from smaller general aviation aircraft to potentially larger regional transportation aircraft.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should carefully evaluate runway selection based on wind direction, utilizing the longer asphalt Runway 17/35 for most operations when possible. The substantial difference in runway lengths (1,674 ft vs 3,615 ft) indicates that aircraft performance and weight will be critical factors in runway selection and approach planning.
