About Devonport Airport

Overview

Devonport Airport serves the northern Tasmanian region as a medium-sized airport located near the city of Devonport. Situated at 33 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region, supporting both commercial and general aviation operations. Its geographical coordinates at -41.169701, 146.429993 place it in a strategic location for transportation in northern Tasmania.

Flying Conditions

The airport's dual runway configuration offers flexibility for different wind conditions. The primary runway 06/24 is an asphalt surface measuring 6,030 feet, providing substantial length for most aircraft types. The secondary runway 14/32 is a grass surface runway at 2,887 feet, which may have more variable surface conditions depending on recent weather and maintenance.

Notable Features

Devonport Airport's relatively low elevation of 33 feet MSL indicates a flat terrain surrounding the airport environment. The presence of two runways with different surface types suggests the airport is designed to accommodate varied aircraft types and meteorological conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variability given the coastal Tasmanian location.

Approach Considerations

Runway selection will likely depend on prevailing wind directions, with the longer asphalt runway 06/24 being the primary approach option for most aircraft. The secondary grass runway 14/32 provides an alternative approach path and may be utilized based on specific wind vector requirements. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during pre-flight planning.
