About Tinson Pen Airport

Overview

Tinson Pen Airport serves the Kingston metropolitan area in Jamaica, functioning as a medium-sized airport located at 16 feet above mean sea level. Situated at coordinates 17.988600, -76.823799, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the region's transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

Jamaica's tropical maritime climate influences the airport's weather patterns, characterized by generally stable conditions but potential for sudden tropical precipitation. Pilots should anticipate warm temperatures and potential convective activity, particularly during the Caribbean hurricane season from June to November.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (14/32) with an asphalt surface measuring 4,300 feet in length, which accommodates medium-sized aircraft operations. Its relatively low elevation of 16 feet MSL indicates a flat terrain environment typical of coastal Caribbean airport locations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 14/32 orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing, with winds potentially varying across the airport's geographic positioning. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments prior to arrival, paying particular attention to the runway's asphalt surface characteristics and potential thermal variations.
