Clermont Airport at a glance
Clermont Airport is a medium airport in Queensland, Australia, known to airline systems as CMQ. The field elevation of 908 ft (277 m) is the number every arriving pilot dials against QNH — circuit heights and initial approach altitudes at YCMT are all figured from it. There is no scheduled airline service listed here — typical traffic is general aviation, training and local operations.
Of its 2 runways, the longest — 15/33 — offers 4,301 ft (1311 m) of asp surface, with runway lighting for night operations. Runway numbers give magnetic orientation: runway 15 points roughly 150° magnetic.

Flight-planning notes for Clermont Airport
Density altitude is the quiet performance-killer at any field: on a hot day the 908 ft field elevation of Clermont Airport can translate into a substantially higher density altitude, stretching take-off rolls and flattening climb rates — run the numbers rather than trusting the feel of a standard day. Expect published instrument procedures, controlled airspace and clearance requirements; slots and handling may apply to general aviation traffic.

Where this data comes from
The reference layer behind this page builds on the OurAirports dataset — a public-domain, community-maintained register of the world's airports that many flight planners and apps rely on — with equity records preserved from documented historical listings where the dataset is silent. Figures are carried as published: elevations as surveyed, coordinates as filed, runway dimensions as recorded. Nothing is estimated to fill a gap, and the whole layer regenerates from source on every site build, so corrections upstream arrive here automatically.
