About Tiree Airport
Overview
Tiree Airport serves the Isle of Tiree, located in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland, operating as a medium-sized airport at a low elevation of 38 feet MSL. The airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for this remote island, supporting essential regional connectivity with three distinct runways accommodating various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Tiree Airport demonstrate predominantly favorable VFR flying opportunities, with 77.6% of observations presenting visual flight conditions. The airport experiences prevailing southerly winds averaging 16.5 knots, with temperatures ranging from -2°C to 16°C and consistent visibility around 10 statute miles. September, January, and October statistically offer the most reliable VFR conditions for pilots.
Notable Features
The airport features three runways with asphalt (ASP) and concrete (CON) surfaces, offering multiple approach options for different wind scenarios. Its coastal island location suggests potential for rapid weather changes and wind variability, with wind speeds historically reaching up to 218 knots. The geographic position in the Hebrides presents unique meteorological characteristics typical of maritime island environments.
Approach Considerations
All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind coverage, with modest average crosswind components ranging from 9 to 11.3 knots. Runway 05/23, the longest at 4600 feet, provides the primary operational surface for most aircraft. Pilots should anticipate consistent southerly wind patterns and be prepared for potential maritime weather influences during approach and landing.
