About West Sale Airport
Overview
West Sale Airport serves the Sale area in Victoria, Australia, functioning as a medium-sized regional airport. Located at coordinates -38.090827, 146.965335, the airport sits at an elevation of 72 feet above mean sea level, providing aviation infrastructure for the Gippsland region.
Flying Conditions
The airport features multiple runway options, including a 5,010-foot asphalt surface runway (09/27) and two grass runways. Given its coastal Victoria location, pilots should anticipate variable wind conditions that may influence runway selection, with multiple runway orientations offering flexibility for different wind scenarios.
Notable Features
West Sale Airport's runway configuration includes three distinct runways: 05/23 (1,640 ft grass), 09/27 (5,010 ft asphalt), and 14/32 (2,293 ft grass). The substantial variation in runway lengths and surfaces provides operational versatility for different aircraft types and meteorological conditions.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should carefully assess current wind conditions when selecting approach and landing runways, considering the multiple runway options available. The longest asphalt runway (09/27) at 5,010 feet provides the most substantial landing surface and is likely the preferred option for larger aircraft or during challenging weather conditions.
