About Smithton Airport
Overview
Smithton Airport (YSMI) is a medium-sized airport located in Tasmania, Australia, situated at coordinates -40.834999, 145.084000. The airport serves the Smithton region with an elevation of 31 feet above mean sea level, providing critical aviation infrastructure for the local area.
Flying Conditions
Positioned at a low elevation near the coast, Smithton Airport experiences maritime influence on its weather patterns. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations due to the airport's coastal location, with two runways offering flexibility in wind conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: runway 06/24 with an asphalt surface measuring 5,246 feet long, and runway 10/28 with a gravel surface extending 2,034 feet. The dual runway configuration provides options for different wind conditions and aircraft types operating in the region.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will depend on current wind direction, with the longer asphalt runway 06/24 likely preferred for larger aircraft and primary operations. The presence of a shorter gravel runway (10/28) offers an alternative approach option when wind or operational conditions necessitate.
