About Pitt Meadows Airport

Overview

Pitt Meadows Airport (CYPK) is a medium-sized airport located in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, Canada. Situated at an elevation of 11 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves general aviation and local transportation needs in the Greater Vancouver regional area. Its strategic location provides access to the Fraser Valley's diverse landscape.

Flying Conditions

As a lower elevation airport near the Pacific Coast, Pitt Meadows experiences maritime climate influences that can produce variable visibility and precipitation. The airport's multiple runways (08L/26R at 2,485 ft, 08R/26L at 5,003 ft, and 18/36 at 2,484 ft) provide flexibility for operations under different wind conditions. All runways are asphalted, supporting consistent surface conditions throughout the year.

Notable Features

The airport's geographic position near the Fraser River and surrounding mountainous terrain creates complex local wind patterns that pilots should carefully assess. With three runways of varying lengths, the airport offers operational versatility for different aircraft types and performance capabilities. The relatively low elevation of 11 ft MSL minimizes altitude-related performance considerations for most general aviation aircraft.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should evaluate current wind directions when selecting runways, with the longest runway (08R/26L at 5,003 ft) offering the most comprehensive operational flexibility. The multiple runway configurations allow for crosswind and tailwind alternatives depending on prevailing meteorological conditions. Careful attention to local terrain and potential wind shear is recommended during approach and departure phases.
