About Hervey Bay Airport
Overview
Hervey Bay Airport serves the coastal region of Queensland, Australia, providing essential air connectivity for the Wide Bay-Burnett area. Located at coordinates -25.320127, 152.880662, the airport supports regional and general aviation operations with its medium-sized infrastructure and single asphalt runway.
Flying Conditions
The airport sits at an elevation of 60 feet mean sea level, offering relatively low-altitude operations typical of coastal Queensland environments. Pilots can expect maritime influence on local weather patterns, with potential for sea breezes and variable wind conditions affecting runway 11/29.
Notable Features
The airport's 6,561-foot asphalt runway (11/29) provides substantial length for most medium-sized aircraft operations. Its coastal location suggests potential for rapid weather changes and visibility variations typical of Queensland's subtropical climate zone.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29 orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, with approaches potentially influenced by coastal wind patterns. Pilots should anticipate maritime terrain characteristics and be prepared for potential wind shifts during approach and landing phases.
