About Quilpie Airport
Overview
Quilpie Airport serves the remote southwestern Queensland region, supporting regional and charter operations in a sparse outback environment. Located at coordinates -26.612200, 144.253006, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for this remote area of Australia, situated at an elevation of 655 feet above mean sea level.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences typical inland Australian arid climate conditions, with significant temperature variations between day and night. Pilots should anticipate potential high-temperature operations given the airport's inland location, with elevation and terrain potentially impacting aircraft performance.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: Runway 09/27 with a length of 4,898 feet (classified as COP - Code of Practice), and Runway 18/36 measuring 3,510 feet (classified as CLA). The substantial runway lengths provide operational flexibility for various aircraft types operating in this remote region.
Approach Considerations
Due to the airport's dual runway configuration, pilots have options for approach based on prevailing wind conditions. The primary 09/27 runway offers the longer operational length, which may be preferable for larger aircraft or those with higher performance requirements in the challenging outback environment.
