Flying in to Holbrook:
Pilots flying to YHBK Holbrook are requested to use the main runways only (ie 04/22 and 14/34). The grass adjacent to these runways is currently unservicable.
Pilots flying into YHBK Holbrook should also be aware of the extent and proximity of Albury Controlled Airspace (CTA). For further information refer to the Canberra/Albury Visual Terminal Chart (VTC). Albury CTA is active at all times when the Albury Control Tower is operational, typically seven days per week. For further information refer to the current ERSA. Also note that Albury Control Tower's operational hours may alter at short notice.
Aircraft parking:
Ample aircraft parking will be available, most with tiedown facilities. There is also a limited amount of hangarage if required. There is also the provision for those pilots who would prefer to trailer their ultralight aircraft to Holbrook and assemble it on arrival.
