About Îles-de-la-Madeleine Airport

Overview

Îles-de-la-Madeleine Airport serves the Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine region in Canada, providing critical aviation infrastructure for this island archipelago in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. As a medium-sized airport with two asphalted runways, it supports regional transportation and serves as a key access point for the isolated island community.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect highly variable weather conditions, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions present 47.4% of the time and Marginal VFR conditions for an additional 35.9% of observations. The region experiences significant wind activity, with prevailing westerly winds averaging 15.4 knots and capable of reaching up to 40 knots, which can impact flight planning and approach strategies.

Notable Features

The airport sits at a low elevation of 35 feet mean sea level, situated on an island archipelago with potential for maritime weather influences. Both runways (07/25 and 16/34) demonstrate 100% favorable wind coverage, with modest average crosswind components of 9.4 and 10.1 knots respectively, suggesting generally predictable wind conditions for aircraft operations.

Approach Considerations

Seasonal considerations are critical, with September through November offering the most consistent VFR conditions. Temperature ranges from -13°C to 22°C create diverse operational environments, and pilots should be prepared for potential visibility restrictions, with 5.3% of observations showing visibility below 3 statute miles and occasional fog events.
