About Fort Resolution Airport
Overview
Fort Resolution Airport serves the remote community of Fort Resolution in the Northwest Territories, Canada. Located at 61.180801, -113.690002 with an elevation of 526 ft MSL, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for a northern settlement. The airport supports essential regional connectivity in a challenging geographical environment.
Flying Conditions
Weather at Fort Resolution demonstrates significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions predominating at 59.2% of observations. Marginal VFR conditions occur 33.6% of the time, requiring pilots to be prepared for potential visibility and ceiling challenges. Temperature ranges extensively from -38°C to 25°C, with an average of -5.4°C, presenting potential icing and performance considerations for aircraft operations.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (13/31) measuring 4,001 feet with a gravel/volcanic surface (GVL). Prevailing winds from the southeast (135°) average 7.2 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 26 knots. The airport experiences calm conditions 2.2% of the time, and maintains consistently good average visibility of 12.8 statute miles.
Approach Considerations
Runway 13/31 demonstrates favorable wind alignment 100% of the time, with an average crosswind component of just 3.3 knots. Pilots can expect the most stable VFR conditions during September, January, and October. The airport's northern location and gravel surface require careful consideration of aircraft performance and equipment limitations during approach and landing.
