About Latrobe Valley Airport

Overview

Latrobe Valley Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Morwell, Australia, serving the Gippsland region of Victoria. Situated at an elevation of 180 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides important aviation infrastructure for the local area. Its geographical coordinates are -38.211004, 146.470817, positioning it in a strategic location for regional air operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport features three distinct runways with varying surface compositions: a 4,692-foot asphalt runway (03/21), a 1,529-foot turf/grass runway (03L/21R), and a 3,015-foot gravel runway (09/27). These multiple runway options provide flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential variability in surface conditions, particularly on the turf and gravel runways.

Notable Features

Latrobe Valley Airport's multi-surface runway configuration offers unique operational characteristics for pilots. The variation in runway lengths and compositions allows for diverse aircraft handling capabilities. The airport's moderate elevation of 180 feet MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment without significant terrain challenges.

Approach Considerations

Runway selection will likely depend on prevailing wind direction and aircraft type, with the primary asphalt runway (03/21) offering the most robust surface for most operations. Pilots should carefully assess runway conditions, particularly when considering the shorter turf and gravel runways. Wind assessment and careful preflight planning are crucial for safe operations at this airport.
