About Tibooburra Airport

Overview

Tibooburra Airport serves the remote northwestern region of New South Wales, Australia, located in the Corner Country area. The airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for this isolated outback location, supporting essential services and regional connectivity at an elevation of 584 feet above mean sea level.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences typical arid inland Australian weather patterns with significant temperature variations between day and night. Pilots should anticipate potential challenging conditions due to the airport's remote desert location, including potential dust and variable wind conditions across its two runways.

Notable Features

Tibooburra Airport features two runways: a 3,202-foot asphalted runway (02/20) and a 5,026-foot gravel runway (15/33). The substantial difference in runway lengths provides operational flexibility for various aircraft types and approach requirements in this challenging outback environment.

Approach Considerations

Approach considerations should focus on the longer 15/33 gravel runway, which offers more landing options for different aircraft categories. Pilots must be prepared for potential surface irregularities on the gravel runway and should conduct thorough pre-approach assessments of current ground conditions.
