Mount Magnet Airport (YMOG/MMG) serves the goldfields town of Mount Magnet in the Mid West region of Western Australia, offering a substantial sealed runway well beyond what its remote setting might suggest. It is a public aerodrome operated by the Shire of Mount Magnet and supports charter services linking the town with Meekatharra, Perth and Wiluna.
Mount Magnet Airport lies at the town of Mount Magnet in the Mid West region of Western Australia. It is operated by the Shire of Mount Magnet and, despite its remote outback location, offers a long, lit hard-surfaced runway that makes it a useful stop for VFR pilots transiting the Murchison goldfields region. Charter operator Skippers Aviation links the field with Meekatharra, Perth and Wiluna.
The airport sits at the town of Mount Magnet in Western Australia, at coordinates 28.1161 S, 117.842 E, and an elevation of 1339 feet. As a remote regional Western Australian aerodrome it is not served by a control tower; radio communications are handled through Melbourne Centre flight service, consistent with operation in non-controlled airspace typical of the outback goldfields region.
The airport has two physical runways. Runway 16/34 is 5904 feet long, hard-surfaced, and lit, forming the primary runway for larger and charter traffic. Runway 04/22 is a shorter 3360-foot gravel strip, unlit, offering an alternative surface for lighter aircraft.
Traffic at Mount Magnet uses the CTAF on 126.7 MHz. Flight service is available on 124.8 MHz through Melbourne Centre. There is no instrument landing system at the field.
The airport received more than $400,000 in security funding in 2006, which was used to establish a secure baggage area, install fencing and lighting, and connect the airport to the Mount Magnet power grid (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Magnet_Airport).
