Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 0°C (32°F) with a dewpoint of -1°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely. Temperatures are at or below freezing. Check for icing conditions and ensure aircraft anti-ice/de-ice systems are operational if required.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

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.
