About Shark Bay Airport
Overview
Shark Bay Airport serves the remote coastal town of Denham in Western Australia, located at -25.897294, 113.575802. Situated at an elevation of 111 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the Shark Bay region. The airport supports regional transportation needs in this isolated part of Western Australia.
Flying Conditions
The airport's location on the western coast of Australia exposes it to maritime weather influences typical of the region. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations given the coastal positioning, with the single runway (18/36) being 5,545 feet long and surfaced with asphalt. Seasonal wind patterns and potential marine layer conditions are important considerations for flight planning.
Notable Features
Shark Bay Airport's runway orientation of 18/36 provides a straightforward approach configuration for most aircraft operations. The surrounding terrain is characteristic of Western Australia's coastal landscape, with potential for variable wind conditions and visibility challenges. The airport's medium classification suggests it can accommodate a range of aircraft types common to regional operations.
Approach Considerations
Approach planning should consider the runway's 18/36 orientation and potential wind effects from the coastal environment. The 5,545-foot asphalt runway provides adequate length for most regional aircraft types. Pilots should prepare for potential maritime weather influences that could impact approach and landing conditions.
