About Summerside Airport

Overview

Summerside Airport is located in Slemon Park, Prince Edward Island, Canada, serving as a medium-sized airport with significant infrastructure. Situated at 56 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation services to the eastern Canadian region. Its three runways offer substantial capacity for various aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Located at 46.440601, -63.833599, Summerside Airport experiences maritime coastal weather typical of Prince Edward Island. The airport's multiple runways (05/23 at 8000ft, 12/30 at 5300ft, and 18/36 at 5460ft) provide operational flexibility across different wind conditions. All runways are asphalt-surfaced, supporting consistent performance for arriving and departing aircraft.

Notable Features

The airport's three runways represent a robust aviation infrastructure, allowing for multiple approach and departure options. With the longest runway measuring 8000 feet, the airport can accommodate a wide range of aircraft types, from smaller regional planes to medium-sized commercial and cargo aircraft. The relatively low elevation of 56 feet MSL suggests minimal terrain complications for approach and departure procedures.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should consider the multiple runway orientations when planning approaches, with runways 05/23, 12/30, and 18/36 offering different wind alignment options. The substantial runway lengths, particularly the 8000-foot primary runway, provide generous landing and takeoff margins for most aircraft classes. Careful attention to current wind conditions will help determine the most appropriate runway for safe operations.
