About Orange Airport

Overview

Orange Airport serves the central western region of New South Wales, located at an elevation of 3115 feet above mean sea level. Situated near the city of Orange, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and supports various aviation activities in the central tablelands of Australia.

Flying Conditions

The airport's high elevation at 3115 ft MSL means pilots should anticipate potential performance considerations, particularly during warmer months. The two runways (04/22 and 11/29) offer flexibility in wind conditions, with the longer 11/29 runway providing 5499 feet of asphalted surface for operations.

Notable Features

The airport features two runways with different surface types: runway 04/22 is a grass surface measuring 2559 feet, while runway 11/29 is an asphalted surface extending 5499 feet. Its location at coordinates -33.382014, 149.131262 places the airport in a terrain-varied region of central New South Wales, requiring careful terrain awareness during approach and departure.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should be prepared to utilize either runway based on wind conditions, with the longer asphalted runway 11/29 providing more favorable operational characteristics. The significant elevation and potential terrain variations around the airport suggest thorough pre-flight planning and attention to local meteorological conditions are essential for safe operations.
