About Kingaroy Airport

Overview

Kingaroy Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Queensland, Australia, serving the South Burnett region. Situated at an elevation of 1,492 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional operations and general aviation in this part of southeastern Queensland.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation and inland location suggest potential for variable weather conditions typical of the Queensland interior. Pilots should anticipate temperature-related performance considerations given the moderate elevation, with potential thermal effects during warmer months that could impact aircraft performance.

Notable Features

The airport features two runways: a grass runway 05/23 measuring 4,275 feet, and an asphalt runway 16/34 extending 5,249 feet. The presence of two runways with different surface types offers operational flexibility, allowing pilots to select the most suitable runway based on current wind and aircraft requirements.

Approach Considerations

Runway 16/34's longer asphalt surface at 5,249 feet provides the primary operational runway for most aircraft. The airport's dual-runway configuration enables crosswind operations and provides alternative landing options, with runway selection likely determined by prevailing wind conditions in this region of Queensland.
