Weather Briefing
VFRCoonabarabran Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 4,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (300°) at 5 knots. Runway 29 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4300 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 12°C (54°F) with a dewpoint of 9°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 18 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Fog. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 13:00Z and 23:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Coonabarabran Airport
Overview
Coonabarabran Airport serves the rural community in northwestern New South Wales, Australia. Located at an elevation of 2117 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the region. The airport features two runways, offering flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions.
Flying Conditions
The airport's significant elevation of 2117 ft MSL means pilots should anticipate potential performance considerations, especially during warmer months. The two runways - a 2129-foot grass runway (01/19) and a 4987-foot asphalt runway (11/29) - provide options for different aircraft capabilities and wind directions. Pilots should expect typical inland Australian terrain characteristics with potential thermal and wind variations.
Notable Features
Coonabarabran Airport's dual runway configuration allows for operational flexibility across different wind conditions. The longer asphalt runway (11/29) at 4987 feet provides accommodation for larger aircraft compared to the shorter grass runway. Its location at coordinates -31.332500, 149.266998 places it in a region characterized by rural terrain and potentially challenging atmospheric conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will depend primarily on wind direction, with the 11/29 asphalt runway offering the most comprehensive approach capabilities. Pilots should carefully assess wind conditions and aircraft performance characteristics given the airport's elevated terrain. The substantial difference between runway lengths (2129ft vs 4987ft) means careful preflight planning is essential for safe operations.
