About Stawell Airport

Overview

Stawell Airport is a medium-sized airport located in western Victoria, Australia, positioned at coordinates -37.071701, 142.740997. Situated at an elevation of 807 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves regional aviation needs with two asphalted runways supporting local and transit aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 807 ft MSL suggests a moderate terrain environment typical of western Victorian plains. Regional weather can involve variable conditions, with potential wind shifts between runway 11/29 and 18/36 depending on seasonal atmospheric patterns. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind scenarios given the airport's two differently oriented runways.

Notable Features

Stawell Airport features two runways: runway 11/29 with a length of 4,603 feet, and runway 18/36 measuring 2,802 feet, both constructed with asphalt surfaces. The longer 11/29 runway provides greater flexibility for aircraft handling and operational capabilities, potentially accommodating a broader range of aircraft types and weights.

Approach Considerations

Runway selection will likely depend on prevailing wind direction, with the two differently aligned runways offering options for managing crosswind components. The substantial length of runway 11/29 (4,603 feet) provides favorable approach and landing characteristics for many aircraft categories, offering pilots additional operational margins during arrival and departure procedures.
