About Hobart International Airport
Overview
Hobart International Airport serves Tasmania's capital city, located at coordinates -42.837100, 147.512950 with an elevation of 13 ft MSL. The medium-sized airport handles regional and domestic aviation operations, providing critical transportation infrastructure for southern Tasmania. Its single runway 12/30 spans 7,385 feet with an asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions demonstrate high visual flight rule (VFR) reliability, with 89.5% of observations supporting VFR operations. Prevailing northwest winds at an average of 11.4 knots create generally stable conditions, though maximum recorded winds reach 38 knots. Temperature ranges from 2°C to 30°C, with an average of 13.7°C, supporting consistent year-round operations.
Notable Features
The airport's runway 12/30 shows exceptional wind compatibility, with 100% favorable wind alignment and an average crosswind of only 5.2 knots. Geographically situated near Hobart, the airport's low elevation of 13 ft MSL contributes to predictable approach characteristics. Minimal fog occurrence (0.1%) and consistently good visibility (average 10 statute miles) enhance operational reliability.
Approach Considerations
Optimal VFR flying conditions are most prevalent during September, October, and November. Pilots should anticipate northwest wind patterns when planning approaches, with the runway demonstrating excellent wind alignment. The stable weather profile, characterized by high VFR percentages and minimal low-visibility events, supports consistent aircraft operations throughout the year.
