About Glen Innes Airport
Overview
Glen Innes Airport is a medium-sized airport located in New South Wales, Australia, situated at coordinates -29.676029, 151.691156. The airport serves the Glen Innes region at an elevation of 3433 feet above mean sea level, providing critical aviation infrastructure for the local area and surrounding agricultural districts.
Flying Conditions
The airport's high elevation at 3433 ft MSL suggests potential challenges with density altitude, particularly during warmer months. Pilots should anticipate performance variations due to the significant altitude, which can impact aircraft climb rates and takeoff distances, especially for smaller aircraft.
Notable Features
Glen Innes Airport features two runways: runway 10/28 with a length of 5499 feet constructed of gravel (GVL), and runway 14/32 with a length of 4915 feet constructed of asphalt (ASP). The dual runway configuration provides operational flexibility for different wind conditions and aircraft types utilizing the airport.
Approach Considerations
The two runways with different surface types and orientations offer pilots multiple approach options based on wind direction. Runway 10/28's longer 5499-foot gravel surface may be preferable for larger aircraft, while the 4915-foot asphalt runway 14/32 provides an alternative approach depending on prevailing wind conditions and aircraft performance requirements.
