Gold Coast

Gold Coast Airport (YBCG/OOL) serves the tourist mecca of the Gold Coast/Surfers Paradise area. It is one of the fastest growing airports in the Oceania region, with passenger numbers close to tripling over the last decade.

All necessary charts for Gold Coast can be found in the Airservices DAP.

Pilots should be aware that the default FS scenery does not contain the taxiway at the extreme southern end of runway 14/32: taxiway C terminates in what is indicated as taxiway K on the current airport charts.

Arrivals

Route shortening may be available from ELLAS depending on traffic.

There are no STAR arrivals for Gold Coast flights arriving from New Zealand. Pilots should expect radar vectors to the RNAV, VOR/DME, or visual approach.

Note: there is no ILS approach at Gold Coast. Pilots who are uncomfortable flying either an RNAV, VOR/DME, or visual approach, should consider Brisbane International (YBBN) (approximately 60nm north) as an alternate.

Departures

Pilots departing for Hamilton should expect the GOLD COAST THREE (CG3) radar departure, with vectors to ELLAS.
