Camooweal Airport

Camooweal Airport (IATA: CML, ICAO: YCMW) is located 0.4 nautical miles (0.74 km; 0.46 mi) northeast[1] of Camooweal, Queensland, Australia. The airport is operated by the Mount Isa City Council and is mainly used by the Royal Flying Doctor Service to support the operation of weekly medical clinics for the Camooweal community. The airport also functions as a base to land supplies and perform evacuations during emergencies such as flooding.[2]

Facilities

Aside from the sealed runway 13/31 which is 1,238 m (4,062 ft) and a small apron area, there are minimal facilities at the airport. Solar powered lighting for the runway and apron areas is available for emergencies at night. Arriving and departing aircraft coordinate movements using a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency as there is no control tower at the isolated airstrip. A Non-Directional Beacon navigational aid is located close to the airport.[1]

gollark: <@!336962240848855040> As far as I know 3nm does not actually exist yet, and there are a bunch of possible sizes you could use.
gollark: > The 22 nm node may be the first time where the gate length is not necessarily smaller than the technology node designation. For example, a 25 nm gate length would be typical for the 22 nm node.
gollark: As far as I know it *used* to actually be a measure of something, but they hit issues around... 22nm or something, don't really know... and despite said measure not changing very much the processes kept getting better, so they just reduced them.
gollark: I mean, generally if the number goes down the density of the transistors goes up, but it's not an actual measurement of anything.
gollark: They don't correspond to any actual measurement now.
