The aerodrome is owned by the Light Regional Council of South Australia and is managed on their behalf by the Adelaide Soaring Club (ASC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ASC moved to Gawler from Virginia in 1950 and has been flying gliders at Gawler ever since. In 1998 the club spread its wings further and ventured into the world of powered flight in the Recreational Aviation category with the purchase of an Australian made Jabiru. All of the instructors are volunteers and fully qualified which makes training at the ASC very affordable. The ASC continues to train pilots in both Gliding and Light Sports Aircraft (LSA) today and maintains a modern fleet of aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/South_Australian_Country_Fire_Service\" target=\"_blank\">Country Fire Service<\/a> (CFS) operates its water bombers from this airfield during the bush fire season as required. The location of the airfield has been instrumental in fighting bush fires in this region.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"270\" height=\"236\" data-src=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/GawlerSArunwayinfo.png\" alt=\"Gawler Airstrip, South Australia - Country Airstrips Australia\" class=\"wp-image-865 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 270px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 270\/236;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"270\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/GawlerSArunwayinfo.png\" alt=\"Gawler Airstrip, South Australia - Country Airstrips Australia\" class=\"wp-image-865\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Gawler Airstrip, South Australia<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e7f5fe\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Elevation<\/strong><br>165<\/td><td><strong>Area Forecast<\/strong><br>50<\/td><td><strong>Strip Direction<\/strong><br>  05  \/  23  :  13  \/  31<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>GPS Position<\/strong><br>34\u00b0 3555  <strong>S<\/strong><br>138\u00b0 4317  <strong>E<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>ALA Code<\/strong><br>YGAW<\/td><td><strong>Strip Length<\/strong><br>      1245    :    1034<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>WAC Chart<\/strong><br>3458<\/td><td><strong>FIA<\/strong><br>Adelaide Centre<br>130.45<\/td><td><strong>Strip Surface<\/strong><br>      Grass     :    Grass<br><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Owner\/Operator<\/strong><br>Light Regional Council<br>OP &#8211; Adelaide Soaring Club<br>(08) 8522 1877<\/td><td><strong>Windsock<\/strong><br>  &#8211;<\/td><td><strong>ASIC Security \/ Vis Vest<\/strong><br>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Fuel<\/strong><br>AVGAS available with prior <br>arrangement<\/td><td><strong>Distance to Town<\/strong><br>4.2 KM<\/td><td><strong>Lighting<\/strong><br>  &#8211;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Aircraft Parking<\/strong><br>  &#8211;<\/td><td><strong>Transport<\/strong><br>Gawler Taxi<br>(08) 8523 1366<br>Gawler Car Rental<br>0408 783 045<\/td><td><strong>Landing Fees<\/strong><br>Yes<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\"><strong>Special Procedures and Comments:<\/strong>  CTAF  126.55<br>Duty RWY is the RWY in use by any glider OP.<br>All TKOF to commence in front of glider OP.<br>In light and variable winds use RWY 23 or 31.<br>Circuit directions LHC RWY 05  and 31, RHC RWY 13 and 23.<br>In unforeseen circumstances and\/or training may see ACFT fly contra or unusual circuits.<br>Caution Edinburgh MIL CTR boundary approx. 1000M from  RWY 13 threshold.
