About Camden Airport

Overview

Camden Airport is located in Cobbitty, Australia, serving as a medium-sized airport situated at 230 feet above mean sea level. Positioned at coordinates -34.038338, 150.686406, the airport provides important aviation infrastructure for the southwestern Sydney region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 230 ft MSL indicates a relatively low-lying terrain environment typical of the Sydney basin. Pilots should anticipate local meteorological conditions that can vary with seasonal changes, potentially affecting visibility and wind patterns across the two available runways.

Notable Features

Camden Airport features two distinct runways: a 4,804-foot asphalted runway (06/24) and a shorter 2,372-foot grass runway (10/28). The presence of both paved and grass surfaces offers operational flexibility for different aircraft types and weather conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientation suggests potential wind variability, with 06/24 and 10/28 providing alternative approach options depending on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should carefully assess runway surface conditions, particularly when utilizing the grass runway (10/28), which may have different performance characteristics compared to the main asphalted runway.
