Gawler/Barossa procedures overview

Gawler aerodrome is located to the north of Adelaide and is a gliding and RAAus airfield. Gawler shares an airspace boundary with the Edinburgh (EDN) military control zone and it is possible to inadvertently enter the zone when conducting circuits.

Multiple tug glider launches are conducted throughout the week, with the majority being on weekends.

Pilots should familiarise themselves with the location of Gawler Dam as this is regularly used as an inbound reporting point to Gawler aerodrome.

When operating in the Barossa Valley, be aware there are numerous aerodromes in the vicinity. Helicopter scenic flights are conducted on a regular basis from Lyndoch but may also involve landing at wineries not indicated on aeronautical charts.
