About Nipawin Airport
Overview
Nipawin Airport serves the regional transportation needs in Saskatchewan, Canada, located at 53.332500, -104.008003. As a medium airport situated at 1220 ft MSL, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Nipawin area, supporting both local and transiting aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Nipawin Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions predominating at 57.2% of observations. Temperature ranges dramatically from -36°C to 30°C, with an average of -6.2°C, presenting potential challenges for winter and summer operations. Visibility averages 7.6 statute miles, with only 5.4% of observations showing conditions below 3 miles.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a 2930-foot asphalt runway (03/21) and a 2900-foot turf/snow runway (12/30). Prevailing winds are westerly at 270° with an average speed of 8.9 knots, occasionally reaching maximum speeds of 34 knots. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignments, with modest average crosswind components of 6 and 5.2 knots respectively.
Approach Considerations
September, October, and November represent the most favorable months for VFR flying, with the most consistent weather conditions. Pilots should anticipate westerly winds and be prepared for potential rapid weather changes, particularly during seasonal transitions. The dual runway configuration provides operational flexibility, with asphalt and turf/snow surfaces accommodating different aircraft types and surface conditions.
