About Tofino / Long Beach Airport
Overview
Tofino / Long Beach Airport serves the remote coastal region of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. Located at 80 ft MSL, this medium airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the rugged Pacific Rim area. The airport features three concrete runways, offering multiple approach and departure options for various aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Tofino are characterized by significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) prevailing 45.5% of the time. Marginal VFR and instrument conditions occur frequently, with 25.1% MVFR and 15.5% IFR conditions observed. Pilots should anticipate southeast winds averaging 8.6 knots, with temperatures ranging from -2°C to 21°C and an average visibility of 11.3 statute miles.
Notable Features
The airport's coastal location introduces unique meteorological challenges, including frequent fog events affecting 23.5% of observations. All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind coverage, with relatively low average crosswind components ranging from 3.7 to 6.3 knots. The surrounding terrain likely influences local wind patterns and visibility conditions typical of Pacific coastal environments.
Approach Considerations
October, January, and November represent the best months for consistent visual flight conditions. Pilots should prepare for potential reduced visibility and fog, with 7.1% of observations showing visibility below 3 statute miles. The multiple runway configuration provides flexibility for approaches, with prevailing southeast winds generally aligned favorably with runway headings.
