About Kincardine Municipal Airport

Overview

Kincardine Municipal Airport serves the coastal community of Kincardine, Ontario, located on the eastern shores of Lake Huron. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 772 feet MSL, the facility provides critical aviation infrastructure for the regional transportation network.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal location near Lake Huron influences its meteorological characteristics, with potential for variable wind conditions and rapid weather changes. Pilots should anticipate significant wind shifts due to the airport's proximity to large water bodies, which can impact landing and takeoff conditions.

Notable Features

Kincardine Municipal Airport features two asphalt runways: a shorter 05/23 runway measuring 2,087 feet, and a longer 13/31 runway extending 4,085 feet. The substantial variation in runway lengths provides operational flexibility for different aircraft types and approach requirements.

Approach Considerations

With runways oriented at different angles, pilots have options for approach based on prevailing wind conditions. The longer 13/31 runway offers more comprehensive landing capabilities, potentially providing better operational margins during challenging weather scenarios.
