About Moosonee Airport

Overview

Moosonee Airport serves the remote community of Moosonee in northern Ontario, Canada. Located at 51.291100, -80.607803 with an elevation of 30 ft MSL, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for this isolated region. As a medium airport, it supports essential regional air services and connects this northern community to broader transportation networks.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences highly variable weather conditions, with significant seasonal temperature ranges from -36°C to 28°C and an average temperature of -5.2°C. Flight rules are predominantly MVFR (42.1%) and VFR (40.5%), with IFR conditions occurring 15.3% of the time. Prevailing westerly winds at an average of 8.5 knots and maximum gusts of 29 knots characterize the airport's wind environment.

Notable Features

Positioned in a northern Canadian landscape, Moosonee Airport features two runways: 06/24 with 4000 ft of asphalt surface and 14/32 with 3500 ft of compacted surface. Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage and modest average crosswind components of 5.3 and 5.4 knots respectively. The low elevation and geographic location suggest potential challenges with winter operations and rapid weather changes.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should anticipate generally good visibility averaging 7.3 statute miles, with only 7.7% of observations showing reduced visibility below 3 SM. October, September, and January offer the most consistent VFR conditions. Wind characteristics strongly favor both runways, providing flexible approach options with minimal wind-related constraints.
