Facilities
Coonagh Aerodrome resides at an elevation of 6 feet (1.8 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 10/28 with a bituminous pavement measuring 416 by 9 metres (1,365 by 30 ft).[1]
Extreme care must be taken when operating into Coonagh as the narrow runway may give the impression of a long runway. Coonagh lies very close to the Shannon CTR, just 1.5 NM (2.8 km; 1.7 mi). Shannon CTA over the field stretches from 1,000 ft (305 m) to 5,000 ft (1,524 m).
