Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Taree Airport

Overview

Taree Airport is a medium-sized airport located in New South Wales, Australia, serving the Mid North Coast region. Positioned at coordinates -31.888599, 152.514008 with an elevation of 38 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local Taree area and surrounding communities.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal location suggests potential for variable wind conditions typical of Australian maritime environments. With two runways - a 4,934-foot asphalted runway (04/22) and a 1,850-foot clay runway (12/30) - pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and prepare for crosswind landing techniques.

Notable Features

Taree Airport's dual runway configuration offers operational flexibility for different wind conditions and aircraft types. The substantial length of the primary runway (04/22) at 4,934 feet accommodates a range of general aviation and regional aircraft, while the shorter secondary runway provides additional operational options.

Approach Considerations

Runway selection will depend on prevailing wind direction, with the two perpendicular runways (04/22 and 12/30) providing complementary approach options. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction, runway surface conditions, and their specific aircraft performance characteristics when planning arrivals and departures at this coastal airport.
