Located at coordinates 43.460800, -80.378601, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and supports diverse flight operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at CYKF demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevalent 46.4% of the time. Pilots should anticipate potential marginal visual flight rules (MVFR) conditions in 36.9% of observations, with instrument flight rules (IFR) and low instrument flight rules (LIFR) occurring less frequently. Temperature ranges from -21°C to 28°C, with an average of 0.6°C, indicating substantial seasonal temperature fluctuations.
Notable Features
The airport features two asphalt runways: Runway 08/26 measuring 7003 feet and Runway 14/32 measuring 4103 feet. Prevailing winds consistently come from the west (270°) at an average speed of 10.4 knots, with occasional gusts up to 35 knots. Calm wind conditions exist 5.3% of the time, providing relatively stable wind environments for aviation operations.
Approach Considerations
Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with Runway 08/26 experiencing an average crosswind of 5 knots and Runway 14/32 experiencing an average crosswind of 7.3 knots. Visibility averages 7.1 statute miles, with only 6.4% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles and minimal fog occurrence at 2%. Pilots should consider September, October, and November as the most favorable months for visual flight conditions.
