Watts Bridge Memorial Airfield is a private airfield that welcomes all forms of recreational aviation. Located in south east Queensland, Australia approximately 5km from the small country township of Toogoolawah, an easy 1 to 1½ hours drive from the state's capital city, Brisbane. To the south of the airfield is the particularly scenic BrisbaneValley area featuring open rolling pastures and cleared farming country bordering the Wivenhoe Dam. To the north and west is the Great Dividing Range, gateway to the Darling Downs and beyond. A short flight to the east passes the grand GlassHouseMountains en route to the most picturesque bay and beach scenery imaginable.

 

The WattsBridge area makes for extremely safe recreational flying with many open paddocks surrounding the airfield. Weather conditions are generally most amenable with a prevailing wind from the south east, usually at less than 15 knots. In summer expect a cooling north easterly sea breeze in the afternoon.

 

WattsBridge features three well formed grass runways suitable for almost all types of recreational aircraft. WattsBridge has been used by aircraft such as the Trojan T28, Antonov, Lancair, Pitts Special plus a variety of vintage, warbird, ultralight, glider and general aviation aircraft.

 

WattsBridge is OCTA being situated on the boundary between BrisbaneInternationalAirport's CLASS C Lower Limit of 7,500' and the CLASS E Lower Limit at 8,500' making for recreational and glider friendly operations. CTAF Procedures (3 NM Radius - Surface to 3000 Ft AMSL) apply for all operations at WattsBridge.
