About Peawanuck Airport
Peawanuck Airport (CYPO/YPO) is located in Peawanuck, CA at an elevation of 173 feet MSL. The airport has 1 runway (11/29), with the longest at 3,520 feet.
Weather Profile
CYPO is weather-challenged, with VFR conditions just 46.6% of the time across 10,662 observations. IFR/LIFR conditions are present 17.3% of the time, making an instrument rating essential for reliable access.
Wind Patterns & Runway Selection
Prevailing winds at CYPO come from the W (270°) with an average speed of 7.8 knots and recorded gusts up to 28 knots. Calm winds are rare (0.7%), so crosswind considerations are a regular factor. Runway 11/29 offers the lowest average crosswind component at 4.4 knots, making it the preferred choice in typical wind conditions.
Seasonal Considerations
The best months for VFR operations are March, January, February, when clear skies are most prevalent. Temperatures at the field range from -38°C (-36°F) to 30°C (86°F), averaging -10.3°C (13°F). Cold weather operations require attention to aircraft preheating, de-icing, and cold-soaked fuel management. Altimeter settings typically range from 28.96 to 30.84 inHg (981-1044 hPa).
