Not to be confused with YBEW

There is also a Beechworth Airstrip (YBEW) in NSW.

No idea why these comments are so negative

Great airport running a great training operation. Well maintained facilities and aircraft, great prices and great staff to back it all up.

closeby strips

as far as im aware, ive been told for firefighting services, probably closest airstrip would be drouin, which can be hard to spot but is an awesome strip, they have a website aswell

Owner Details??

Hey guys,

Any details for the owner to contact them? Or any closeby airports that are still operating? I'm in Longwarry, and the apparent 'Longwarry Airport' looks very closed.

Fantastic Aerodrome

I must say i recently visited hamilton and it truly is a fantastic aerodrome. shame no RPT users, because that is one long runway

Picture of

i shall never return

Unfortunatley YLTV has lost me forever, aside from the many NORAD (no radio users) it seems that there are people waiting to report aircraft for bogus accusations at each step. it has unfortunatley lost me, and i will not return for a very long time.

Bit of an update

Recently flew into Cobden and have to say its one of the few strips in Australia that i really respect. Unsealed gravel is now sealed asphalt. Keep an eye out for high rising terrain to the north and industrial factories to the south.

Contact details

For landing permission call Gary on 0419 552 425

Longwarry Airport

Is Longwarry Airport still registered or should reference to it be removed?

Can the entry please be corrected ?

re: Airfield now closed

"have they no vision!"

Mate, that statement could be changed to "They Have No Vision" and then applied to everyone in charge of anything down here.

Private farm strip?

From the road this strip looks somewhat maintained, but it is within a farm complex and looks very private - I don't have contact details but the farm owner would need to be contacted prior to use in case of stock presence etc

Now closed

Redeveloped into industrial land, another casualty of the urban sprawl.

Picture of

Airfield now closed

A crying shame for the Island, the owners have closed access and will probably develop the land for housing. It could be a very busy airfield if it was developed to cater for the GP traffic, shame on the owners, have they no vision!

Moorrabbin is still very busy with training and helicopter operations. Also commuter and regional service flights

THERES AN AIRPORT?

You learn new things every day !

Air Kotta

A small airfield popular with gyrocopters, RAA aircraft, GA aircraft and crop dusters. Model aeroplanes fly here occasionally, and model rockets. Rabbit hunting is available on local landcare plantation. Yabbies are caught in large dam nearby.Camping is available, tie down area, bring own pegs, shower and flushing toilet, bbq.

Very Safe Airport

Autogates are not enough for the airport.They also do a physical check of your passport.

Drouin Airport - Beautiful and really friendly!

What a stunning airport! Great facilities and really friendly people. Great coffee in the club room. Highly recommend visiting.

Lovely fly in spot

Only 2 minutes walk to the winery, cafe or restaurant. Outstanding staff, reasonable grass strip. 1000m so good for just about any GA. First timers should perform a precautionary flypast to get a good look at the trees & approach/departure profile required at the Southern end. Tie down cables near the hangar.

Visit the Aeroclub

Aeroclub holds a regular club day on the last Sunday of each month. Drop in for a BBQ snag for a few hours or make a day of it.

Updated August 2017

I flew into the strip after getting permission from the owner via phone (number in AOPA guide on ozrunways). It had been raining heavy in the week leading up, but the strip was still usable, but you need to stay off the grass as it is quite soft. Also the first 100m of 09 was a bit boggy so I landed long. I was in a c172. Yes it is narrow, and 27 has an up hill slope from the threshold, but not a problem if you have landed on such strips before. Be careful of 09 departures at high density altitude/MTOW due to rising ground after departure. Landing fee payable in the shed, there is a money slot. All up a good strip, lovely location.

REAL AIRPORT?

Hi,

I was wondering if this is an actual airport because on google images it just looks like factories.

Picture of

Where is this all coming from?

I'm reading all the negative comments and can't understand where it is all coming from...

I've been doing my flight training at Lilydale for the past year and it has been nothing but a great experience! Best value for money training that I could find in the greater Melbourne area. They have friendly and proficient instructors and staff. No landing fees, short taxi ways and you don't have to wait ages for clearance.

I would highly recommend a visit!

TIF @ YMPC

I did a TIF with another flying school here. Very nice VFR flying that can be done If you head northwest of the aerodrome. Circuits are also fun as you are commonly there with CT4As and sometimes PC9s as well.

Runway Upgrade

Work has began to lengthened the current 9/27 runway from 1,830m to 2,200m & the surface is also going to be thickened to allow for heavier aircraft there is also talk about the airport having a tower installed due to increases traffic.
