About Swan Hill Airport

Overview

Swan Hill Airport serves the regional area of northwestern Victoria, Australia, situated at coordinates -35.375801, 143.533005. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 234 ft MSL, the airport provides critical infrastructure for general aviation, regional transport, and local aviation services in this rural part of Victoria.

Flying Conditions

The airport's multiple runway configuration (04/22, 08/26, and 15/33) offers flexibility in different wind conditions, with runway lengths ranging from 2,329 ft to 4,905 ft. Surface conditions vary between grass (GRS) and asphalt (ASP) runways, which can impact landing and takeoff performance, particularly during seasonal weather variations.

Notable Features

Swan Hill Airport's location in northwestern Victoria suggests a relatively flat terrain typical of the region, which generally presents minimal terrain-related challenges for pilots. The three-runway layout provides multiple approach options, with the longest runway (08/26 at 4,905 ft) offering the most substantial operational capacity for different aircraft types.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should carefully assess wind direction when selecting runways, with the available 04/22 (3,166 ft), 08/26 (4,905 ft), and 15/33 (2,329 ft) providing options for different wind conditions. The variation in runway surfaces and lengths requires careful preflight planning and performance calculations, particularly for aircraft with specific operational requirements.
