Weather Briefing
VFRBathurst Island Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 4,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 15 knots. Runway 15/33 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 15-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 4,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 21°C, indicating relatively dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 27 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Bathurst Island Airport
Overview
Bathurst Island Airport serves the community of Wurrumiyanga, located in the Northern Territory of Australia. Situated at an elevation of 67 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Tiwi Islands region. The airport supports essential regional connectivity and community access in a remote geographical area.
Flying Conditions
The airport's tropical location suggests potential for variable weather conditions typical of northern Australian coastal regions. Pilots should anticipate potential convective activity and rapid weather changes characteristic of the monsoon-influenced climate. The single runway (15/33) measuring 4,823 feet with an asphalted surface provides a substantial landing area for regional aircraft operations.
Notable Features
Bathurst Island's geographical position presents unique navigational considerations, with coastal terrain and potential maritime weather influences. The airport's coordinates (-11.764966, 130.615774) indicate its proximity to coastal environments, which can generate localized wind and visibility variations. The 15/33 runway orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios that pilots must carefully evaluate during approach and landing.
Approach Considerations
Runway 15/33's 4,823-foot length accommodates medium-sized regional aircraft with adequate margin for safe operations. Given the airport's tropical location, pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight weather assessments and be prepared for potential rapid meteorological changes. Standard instrument approach procedures and visual flight rules should be carefully reviewed prior to arrival at this remote island airport.
