About Stony Rapids Airport
Overview
Stony Rapids Airport serves the remote northern Saskatchewan region, situated at 59.250301, -105.841003 with an elevation of 805 ft MSL. This medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for a challenging subarctic environment, supporting regional connectivity and essential transportation needs in a sparsely populated area.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Stony Rapids demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating at 53.5% of observations. Winter temperatures range extensively from -43°C to 29°C, with an average of -12.5°C, presenting notable challenges for aircraft operations. Visibility averages 7.7 statute miles, with only 3.3% of observations showing reduced visibility below 3 miles.
Notable Features
The airport features a single gravel-treated runway (06/24) measuring 5050 feet in length, designed to accommodate regional and smaller aircraft. Prevailing winds consistently blow from the west (270°) at an average of 6.1 knots, with occasional gusts up to 23 knots. Calm wind conditions occur 10.2% of the time, providing relatively stable approach conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 06/24 demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of just 3.4 knots. September, December, and January represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for pilots. The airport's high-latitude location requires careful preflight planning and awareness of potential rapid weather changes typical of subarctic regions.
