About Normanton Airport
Overview
Normanton Airport serves the remote Gulf Country region in northwestern Queensland, Australia. Located at coordinates -17.684090, 141.069664, the airport supports regional transportation and serves as a critical infrastructure point for the isolated community of Normanton. As a medium-sized airport situated at 73 feet above mean sea level, it plays a significant role in connecting this sparse geographical area.
Flying Conditions
The airport's tropical location suggests potential for variable weather conditions typical of northern Australian regions. Pilots should anticipate potential challenges from seasonal weather patterns, including potential wet season precipitation and potential thermal activity. The airport's relatively low elevation at 73 ft MSL indicates minimal terrain-induced weather complications.
Notable Features
Normanton Airport features a single runway (14/32) measuring 5,499 feet with an asphalt surface. The runway's substantial length provides adequate operational flexibility for medium-sized aircraft navigating this remote Queensland location. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing phases.
Approach Considerations
Runway 14/32's alignment indicates potential wind variations that pilots must carefully assess during arrival and departure. The 5,499-foot asphalt runway offers reasonable operational margins for appropriately equipped aircraft. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments consistent with remote Australian airport operations, paying particular attention to local environmental conditions.
