About Port Augusta Airport
Overview
Port Augusta Airport serves as a critical regional aviation facility located in South Australia. Situated at an elevation of 56 feet mean sea level, this medium airport provides essential transportation infrastructure for the surrounding region, supporting various aviation operations in a strategically important coastal area.
Flying Conditions
The airport's location suggests potential for variable wind conditions typical of coastal South Australian environments. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal and wind gradient effects due to the airport's proximity to coastal and inland terrain interfaces.
Notable Features
Port Augusta Airport features a single runway (15/33) with a substantial length of 5,413 feet constructed with an asphalt surface. The airport's geographic coordinates (-32.506901, 137.716995) position it in a transition zone between coastal and inland geographical landscapes, which can create unique meteorological and atmospheric conditions.
Approach Considerations
The single runway orientation (15/33) indicates potential preference for approaches based on prevailing wind directions. Pilots should carefully assess wind components and utilize the full 5,413-foot runway length, considering the airport's moderate elevation and potential local terrain influences during approach and landing operations.
