About Chinchilla Airport

Overview

Chinchilla Airport serves the regional agricultural area in Queensland, Australia, located at coordinates -26.771947, 150.617571. Situated at an elevation of 1028 ft MSL, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the Chinchilla district, supporting local agricultural and transport operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 1028 ft MSL indicates a moderate terrain environment typical of the Queensland inland region. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal activity and variable wind conditions characteristic of the Australian interior, with seasonal variations that can impact flight planning and performance.

Notable Features

Chinchilla Airport features two runways with distinct surface compositions: Runway 03/21 is a 1949 ft clay surface (CLA), while Runway 14/32 is a 3497 ft asphalt surface (ASP). The longer asphalt runway provides more versatile operational capabilities for different aircraft types and wind conditions.

Approach Considerations

Given the airport's dual runway configuration, pilots have operational flexibility depending on wind direction. The 3497 ft asphalt Runway 14/32 offers the longer operational surface, which may be preferable for larger aircraft or during challenging wind conditions. Approach planning should consider the airport's inland location and potential local weather variations.
