Weather Briefing
MVFRDevonport Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with clear skies and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (280°) at 1 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 12°C (54°F) with a dewpoint of 11°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Shallow Fog, Fog. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 18:00Z and 23:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Devonport Airport
Overview
Devonport Airport serves the northern Tasmanian region as a medium-sized airport located near the city of Devonport. Situated at 33 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region, supporting both commercial and general aviation operations. Its geographical coordinates at -41.169701, 146.429993 place it in a strategic location for transportation in northern Tasmania.
Flying Conditions
The airport's dual runway configuration offers flexibility for different wind conditions. The primary runway 06/24 is an asphalt surface measuring 6,030 feet, providing substantial length for most aircraft types. The secondary runway 14/32 is a grass surface runway at 2,887 feet, which may have more variable surface conditions depending on recent weather and maintenance.
Notable Features
Devonport Airport's relatively low elevation of 33 feet MSL indicates a flat terrain surrounding the airport environment. The presence of two runways with different surface types suggests the airport is designed to accommodate varied aircraft types and meteorological conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variability given the coastal Tasmanian location.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will likely depend on prevailing wind directions, with the longer asphalt runway 06/24 being the primary approach option for most aircraft. The secondary grass runway 14/32 provides an alternative approach path and may be utilized based on specific wind vector requirements. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during pre-flight planning.
