About Thangool Airport

Overview

Thangool Airport serves the Biloela area in Queensland, Australia, functioning as a medium-sized airport supporting regional aviation activities. Located at coordinates -24.494863, 150.577967, the airport sits at an elevation of 644 feet above mean sea level, providing critical infrastructure for local and transiting aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Central Queensland's climate presents variable weather conditions that pilots should carefully assess before operations. The airport's elevation and inland location suggest potential for thermal variations and localized wind patterns that can impact flight planning, particularly during seasonal transitions.

Notable Features

The airport features two runways: runway 10/28 with an asphalt surface measuring 4,993 feet, and runway 14/32 with a clay surface extending 2,605 feet. The dual runway configuration offers flexibility for aircraft operations under different wind conditions and provides alternative approach options.

Approach Considerations

Runway selection should be determined by current wind direction, with the longer asphalt runway 10/28 generally providing more favorable landing and takeoff characteristics. Pilots should conduct thorough preflight assessments of surface conditions, particularly on the clay runway 14/32, and consider the airport's moderate elevation when calculating performance parameters.
