Ti-Tree Airfield - Misplaced Pages

Ti-Tree Airfield (ICAO:YTIT), also known as Ti Tree aeroplane landing area (ALA) is a landing strip in the Northern Territory of Australia located in the town of Ti-Tree.

Description

The airfield is located on the east side of the town and the Stuart Highway. Its single runway has a length of 4,265 feet (1,300 m), a width of 92 feet (28 m), a sealed surface and an approximate north-south orientation. The airfield is owned by the Northern Territory Government and operated by the local government authority, the Central Desert Region.

Future developments

In 2015, the draft EIS for a proposed mine at Mount Peake which is located about 70 kilometres (43 mi) north-west of Ti-Tree included a proposal to upgrade the airfield to allow its use by aircraft such as the Fokker F100 or BAE146 to fly-in fly-out personnel involved in the mine's establishment and its subsequent operation. The proposed work included the increasing the width of the runway and the provision of a terminal building.

Accidents and incidents

On 6 July 2012, a Gippsland Aeronautics GA-8 Airvan aircraft on a night training flight from Tennant Creek to Alice Springs experienced an engine failure and carried out an emergency landing on the Stuart Highway about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) of Ti-Tree after its crew were unable to activate the airfield's runway PAL system.
