About Fort Liard Airport
Overview
Fort Liard Airport serves the remote community of Fort Liard in northwestern Canada, located in the Northwest Territories. Situated at 708 ft elevation, this medium airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for a region characterized by challenging northern geography and limited ground access.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Fort Liard Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating 82.7% of observations. Temperature ranges dramatically from -42°C to 23°C, presenting potential aircraft performance and cold-weather operational considerations. Southwest winds at an average of 7.3 knots characterize typical wind patterns, with maximum gusts reaching 24 knots.
Notable Features
The single gravel runway (03/21) extends 2,946 feet, reflecting the airport's adaptation to challenging northern terrain. Its geographic coordinates at 60.235802, -123.469002 place the airport in a region with potential meteorological complexity, including periodic low visibility events (fog present in 5.5% of observations) and visibility restrictions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind of 2.5 knots. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility conditions, with observations showing below 3SM visibility in 3% of records. January, September, and December represent statistically the most consistent Visual Flight Rules months for operations.
