Comments for Queensland, Australia

Thank you for the update. I wonder if there was once an airport here, since it has an ICAO designator and http://sabc.org.au/knav/airport/YENO.html lists a runway 03/21. I've updated the page.

This airport is actually a sports oval on an army base. My understanding is that the oval is a designated emergency landing zone for helicopters. I quite often see military rotary wing aircraft land here. Future development on the army base will see parts of the oval dissapear due to new building infrastructure.

Thank you for the update - I've removed the Brisbane NDB from the database.

Thank you - I've updated the airline's home base in the database: http://www.ourairports.com/airlines/FQ/

Watch for Birds over the rubbish Dump on late final to Runway 12, grass strip.

Back in 1999 I was traveling to Australia for business. I managed to spend some time visiting Cairns. I flew up from Sydney on a 747-SP, walked down the jet stairs on to the apron - cool! Then later on in the week I rented a C172, VH-WHK, along with an instructor to fly up the coastline sight seeing. Amazing! I also was amazed to see an HF radio in this C172 - but this made sense, since you are often in the outback. Great times - I hope it is still the same or better.

Good sand strip but private. Cranky mob unless you are really stuck. No drinking water, no fuel (even if caught out) or facilities other a bit of a gunyah to get of the sun. Best to head to Lockhart. Mail service uses strip most Wednesdays. Flying Doctor calls also.

Home to the Queensland Air Museum, which is definitely worth a visit.

Brisbane NDB decommissioned

Why does the information on this site show the runway headings as 18/36 when the satellite photo clearly shows the runways as 13/31 ?

Recently updated the runway info for Watts bridge as it was way off ( something like 3000m & 2000m ) My figures are estimates but close to the mark.

Be aware there is a road and a fence across the NW end of 12-30 and the last few hundred meters is not in use.

Birdsville races rained out September 2010, the town became a quagmire, mud, propstrikes and the digging out of planes. A nightmare.

hey people it the owner's daughter just leaving a kinda note thingo.... anyway i just thought i'd let you that our airstrip is only a k and a half long or so and my grandad made it with guess and explode technique of dinamite sooo its a wee bit rough in patches and if you could contact us if ur planing on using it that would be g8 as cattle are often on it.... thxs cya's ;)

Thanks for the update -- I can see a ditch or path cut across the runway in the satellite view.

This airstrip has been closed by its owner (University of Queensland)

Private- best to check before using

Good sand strip- no facilities, no water, best going to Lockhart

RUNWAY 15---109.90---150º

This is one of the RAAF's three "bare bases" -- it's empty, but has all the infrastructure in place to be activated quickly in case of a crisis.

Did a C-172 checkout at Redcliffe with GOANA in 2002 before spending a week flying around the East Coast of Australia. Was issued an Australian Day VFR license on the basis of my Canadian license and a check flight with the GOANA chief pilot.

I have been here and loved the place - great little place to relax

To Whom it May Concern,

Could you please forward any information on the proposed airport to david@clcsol.com.au

Regards,

David

Landed here on a short (maybe 15 minutes) shuttle flight in a Cherokee 6, from Hamilton Island where we just arrived from Sydney. Absolutely fantastic views of the Whitsundays Islands :-)

The grass runway is located between two big hills so you basically can't see the circuit on the downwind leg (which is itself above water) and keeping the runway centerline is not just an option here...

Oh I almost forgot the subsequent sailing around the Whitsundays was awesome too !

had a TIF on a Gazelle ultralight there. How slow compared to the Warrior, but also how easy to fly. Flying at fairly low level above the beach, awesome :-)

A great place to fly into, but ramp space is very limited.

A much busier airport back in the 70's.

I flew in here in a Stearman one day, and was warmly welcomed by about half the population of the town. A nice friendly place.

Hope you have a mobile phone, because there is no other way to call a cab if you want to go into town.

Situated right on the Tropic of Capricorn. A cattle town.

A good airport and quite an interesting city.

Seeing the amount of rock and soil they moved in order to contstruct this airport is mind-boggling.

Be sure to visit the Army Aviation Museum. Some great airshows were held here years ago.

Lots of interesting military aircraft here.

Always efficient.

One of my all-time favourite airports, and cities. The birthplace of Bush Pilots Airways.

I can't wait until they open the new parallel runway. A pity it won't be pointing into the prevailing (south-easterly) wind.

Landed here for fuel in 2002 - I don't think we saw a soul except for our fellow tourists. Pumped our own fuel - Australia does have self-serve, I think it was on the honour system too.
