About Port Lincoln Airport
Overview
Port Lincoln Airport serves the Eyre Peninsula region in South Australia, providing critical aviation infrastructure for a medium-sized airport. Located at coordinates -34.605301, 135.880005, the airport sits at a modest elevation of 36 feet mean sea level, supporting regional transportation and local aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
The airport features three runways with varying surfaces and lengths, offering flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions. With runway lengths ranging from 4183 ft (05/23) to 4918 ft (01/19), pilots can expect multiple landing and takeoff options depending on aircraft performance and meteorological factors.
Notable Features
Port Lincoln Airport's terrain is characterized by its low elevation and coastal proximity, which can introduce potential wind shear and maritime weather influences. The three runways (01/19 with asphalt surface, and 05/23 and 15/33 with gravel surfaces) provide diverse operational capabilities for different aircraft categories and weather scenarios.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should carefully assess current wind conditions given the multiple runway orientations, which provide options for different wind angles. The runway lengths suggest the airport can accommodate a range of aircraft from smaller regional planes to medium-sized commercial aircraft, with approach considerations that should account for surface variations between asphalt and gravel runways.
