About Prince Albert Glass Field
Overview
Prince Albert Glass Field serves as a critical medium-sized airport located in Saskatchewan, Canada, positioned at 53.214199, -105.672997 and elevated at 1405 ft MSL. The airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the Prince Albert region, supporting both local and transient aircraft operations with its dual-runway configuration.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at CYPA demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions predominating at 63.7% of observations. Pilots can expect predominantly easterly winds averaging 7.6 knots, with temperature ranges spanning from -37°C to 29°C. Seasonal VFR opportunities are most favorable in September, October, and January, while reduced visibility occurs in approximately 3.8% of observations.
Notable Features
The airport features two distinct runways: a 5000-foot asphalt runway (08/26) and a 2500-foot grass runway (16/34). Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind conditions of 4.2 knots for 08/26 and 5 knots for 16/34. The geographic positioning suggests a relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Saskatchewan landscape.
Approach Considerations
Wind data indicates consistent easterly prevailing winds, which generally favors operations on runway 08/26. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations, with recorded maximum wind speeds reaching 35 knots. Calm wind conditions occur in 7.3% of observations, requiring standard wind assessment procedures during approach and landing.
