The Jindabyne area prevailing wind is generally from the northwest. If the wind strength is 25kts + from the NW to SW expect strong sink on 30 and severe to extreme turbulence in the Jindabyne Valley. It is not recommended to approach the Jindabyne area in GA aircraft if Westerly winds aloft exceed 35 kts, less for LSA etc, unless you are very experienced and familiar with the area and you and your aircraft are capable of handling the conditions. For accurate wind direction, please look for main windsock on the top of the hill 300 mts north of the runway. Rotor activity will be present in SW-NW winds over 25kts. Generally there will be a primary rotor in the Thredbo Valley and a secondary rotor in the Jindabyne Valley & over the lake. This secondary rotor seems to catch pilots over the lake near the township. There is no AWIS at Jindabyne. The Cooma AWIS will generally report wind strength from 5%-25% below actual strength at YJIN. Temperature at Jindabyne generally about 1-2 deg. lower than Cooma. The following handbook is a great guide on mountain flying.

Wildlife may be on the strip at any time, but especially early morning and late afternoon. Inspection and precautionary approach to land is recommended.

All GA parking is in parking area at the the south eastern end of 3/0 runway. Designated aircraft parking area at the eastern end of the main runway near the main gate, in the lee of a large embankment. Park aircraft facing into the prevailing Westerly winds. Own tie downs required. Do not park on the runway strips!

Be aware of the significant slope on the runways and use it to your advantage. Be very aware of the TWO large wind socks on the strip. Consider carefully the impact of the runway slope, the wind, terrain effects, density altitude and wind shear on your aircraft performance.
