About Wynyard Airport

Overview

Wynyard Airport serves the northwestern region of Tasmania, providing critical aviation infrastructure for Burnie and surrounding areas. Located at coordinates -40.997039, 145.726000, the airport sits at an elevation of 62 feet mean sea level and supports regional transportation and potential commercial/general aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Tasmania's coastal environment typically presents variable wind conditions that pilots should anticipate when operating at Wynyard Airport. The airport's two runways - a 2,516-foot paved runway (05/23) and a 5,413-foot asphalted runway (09/27) - offer multiple landing options to accommodate different wind directions and aircraft types.

Notable Features

The airport's dual runway configuration provides operational flexibility, with significant length variations between the two runways. The longer 09/27 runway at 5,413 feet can accommodate larger aircraft, while the shorter 05/23 runway offers an additional operational option for smaller aircraft or during specific wind conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway selection will depend primarily on wind direction, with the 09/27 runway offering the longest approach option. Pilots should carefully assess prevailing wind conditions and utilize the runway most aligned with current meteorological circumstances, considering the airport's coastal location and potential wind variability.
