Operational Data
Hastings Aerodrome is an uncontrolled airport. It has three runways. 01L/19R is sealed and is 1075 metres in length. 01R/19L is a parallel grass runway to the sealed runway and is 880 metres in length, which is often referred to as the 'grass runway 01' or 'grass runway 19'. There is also a cross runway, 11/29 which is 884 metres in length. This runway is sealed for 295 metres on the 29 threshold until it meets the main sealed runway, and then the rest of the runway is grass.
Although the airspace surrounding the Hastings Aerodrome is uncontrolled by Air Traffic Control, nearby Hawke's Bay Airport - servicing at Napier City and only a few minutes flight time away from Hastings Aerodrome - is controlled by an Air Traffic Control tower. This is due to the fact that the busy airport at Napier handles the airline services for the Hawke's Bay area, which includes daily flights operated by Air New Zealand.

Famous quotes containing the word data:
“This city is neither a jungle nor the moon.... In long shot: a cosmic smudge, a conglomerate of bleeding energies. Close up, it is a fairly legible printed circuit, a transistorized labyrinth of beastly tracks, a data bank for asthmatic voice-prints.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
