About Mtwara Airport
Overview
Mtwara Airport serves the southeastern coastal region of Tanzania, located at coordinates -10.336204, 40.181997. As a medium-sized airport elevated at 371 feet MSL, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the Mtwara region, supporting regional and potentially international commercial and charter operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 73.1% of observations under visual flight rules and only 0.2% in challenging IFR or LIFR conditions. Winds are consistently from the north at an average of 7.1 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 18 knots. Temperature variations range from 19°C to 38°C, with an average of 27.2°C, providing generally stable thermal conditions for aviation.
Notable Features
Mtwara Airport features two runways: a primary 7,410-foot asphalted runway (01/19) and a secondary 3,815-foot gravel runway (08/26). Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage. The airport's coastal location suggests potential for maritime influences and localized weather phenomena typical of Tanzania's southeastern coastal environment.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect consistently favorable wind conditions for both runways, with minimal crosswind challenges. Runway 01/19 averages just 3.5 knots of crosswind, while runway 08/26 experiences slightly higher crosswind at 5.1 knots. January, September, and December represent the best months for visual flying, offering optimal meteorological conditions for approaches and departures.
