About Peterborough Municipal Airport
Overview
Peterborough Municipal Airport (CYPQ) serves the Peterborough region in Ontario, Canada, located at 44.230000, -78.363297 with an elevation of 628 ft MSL. The airport features two asphalt runways: a primary 7000ft runway (09/27) and a secondary 2000ft runway (13/31), supporting various general aviation and regional aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at CYPQ demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 53.8% of the time and Marginal VFR conditions occurring 31.1% of observations. Pilots can expect predominantly westerly winds averaging 8.2 knots, with temperature ranges from -27°C to 27°C and average visibility of 7.5 statute miles. September, October, and November statistically offer the most favorable VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
Both runways exhibit 100% favorable wind alignment, with Runway 09/27 experiencing an average crosswind of 4.3 knots and Runway 13/31 averaging 5.1 knots. The airport's geographic position and terrain characteristics support reliable wind patterns, with calm conditions occurring in 12.8% of observations. Temperature and visibility variations suggest pilots should anticipate potential seasonal and daily meteorological changes.
Approach Considerations
Prevailing westerly winds (270°) suggest Runway 09/27 will frequently be the preferred approach, with consistent wind conditions supporting stable landing characteristics. Pilots should be prepared for potential reduced visibility scenarios, as 3.9% of observations report visibility below 3 statute miles and 1.7% indicate fog presence. Standard preflight weather briefings are crucial for understanding current conditions at this location.
