About Griffith Airport

Overview

Griffith Airport serves the Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia, located approximately 570 kilometers southwest of Sydney. As a medium-sized airport, it supports regional aviation activities, providing critical transportation infrastructure for the local agricultural and business communities in the Griffith area.

Flying Conditions

The airport sits at an elevation of 439 feet above mean sea level, which contributes to generally stable atmospheric conditions typical of the Riverina region. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal activity and variability given the inland location, with seasonal temperature ranges that can significantly impact aircraft performance.

Notable Features

Griffith Airport features two runways with distinct surface compositions: runway 06/24 is an asphalt surface measuring 4,931 feet in length, while runway 18/36 is a grass surface extending 1,969 feet. The dual-runway configuration provides operational flexibility for various aircraft types and wind conditions, accommodating different approach and departure scenarios.

Approach Considerations

The parallel runways (06/24 and 18/36) offer pilots multiple landing options depending on prevailing wind conditions. With significant length differences between the runways, pilots must carefully assess aircraft performance parameters, surface conditions, and current meteorological data when selecting an appropriate runway for landing or takeoff.
