Boyd Airstrip Ngaruroro River
This airstrip is administered by the DOC and is available for transport of recreational users.
To use the Boyd Airstrip we strongly recommend that you consider the following:
Runway length is 550m. There is no significant slope.
The strip has an uneven surface and will retain surface water as puddles for up to three days after periods of significant rainfall.
The strip's elevation (3100ft) means that density altitude combined with all up weight is often an issue for take off.
The Boyd is notorious for wind shear, turbulence and gusts on short final approach and on take off.
Given all the factors it is prudent for pilots to contact an experienced operator, such as Taupo Air Services +64 7 378 5325 or Air Charter +64 7 378 5467, to seek advice on current conditions likely to be encountered, prior to departure.
Please use radio frequency 134.0 in the Boyd Airstrip area.
