About Goulburn Airport

Overview

Goulburn Airport (YGLB) is a medium-sized airport located in New South Wales, Australia, situated at coordinates -34.810299, 149.725998. The airport sits at an elevation of 2,141 feet above mean sea level, serving regional aviation needs in the Goulburn area. Its infrastructure includes two runways that support various general aviation activities.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 2,141 feet MSL suggests potential for variable wind and temperature conditions typical of inland Australian terrain. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal activity and temperature-related performance considerations given the significant elevation. The two runways (04/22 and 08/26) provide wind flexibility for different approach and departure scenarios.

Notable Features

Goulburn Airport features two runways with distinct characteristics: runway 04/22 is an asphalt surface measuring 4,209 feet long, while runway 08/26 is a gravel surface extending 2,218 feet. The variation in runway surfaces and lengths provides operational versatility for different aircraft types and landing requirements. The airport's geographical positioning suggests a potentially complex local terrain environment.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/22's longer asphalt surface will likely be the primary runway for most operations, offering more favorable landing and takeoff characteristics. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and surface conditions when selecting between the two runways. The airport's dual-runway configuration provides operational flexibility, allowing approaches from different directions based on prevailing wind conditions.
