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
