About Walgett Airport
Overview
Walgett Airport serves the regional community in New South Wales, Australia, located at coordinates -30.032801, 148.126007. As a medium-sized airport situated at an elevation of 439 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local area, supporting various operational needs.
Flying Conditions
The airport's moderate elevation and inland location suggest potential for variable weather conditions typical of the New South Wales region. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature fluctuations and wind variability, particularly given the airport's two distinct runway orientations which offer flexibility for different wind conditions.
Notable Features
Walgett Airport features two runways with different surface compositions: runway 05/23 is asphalted and measures 5,335 feet in length, while runway 18/36 is a grass surface spanning 3,783 feet. The dual runway configuration allows for operational adaptability based on wind direction and aircraft performance requirements.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will depend primarily on wind direction, with the longer asphalted runway (05/23) providing more landing options for larger aircraft. The grass runway (18/36) offers an alternative surface, which may be preferable under specific meteorological or operational conditions. Pilots should assess current wind and surface conditions when planning approach and landing strategies.
