About Alma Airport

Overview

Alma Airport (CYTF) is a medium airport situated in Alma, Quebec, Canada at coordinates 48.508900, -71.641899. Located at an elevation of 445 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves the regional transportation needs of the Lac-Saint-Jean area. Its primary runway 13/31 provides a 5,000-foot asphalt surface for aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's moderate elevation of 445 feet suggests relatively stable atmospheric conditions typical of the Quebec region. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal variations in temperature and precipitation that could impact runway surface conditions, particularly during winter months. The airport's geographic location may experience localized wind patterns that could affect approach and departure procedures.

Notable Features

Positioned in a region with varied terrain, Alma Airport offers a substantial 5,000-foot runway which accommodates a range of aircraft types. The asphalt runway (13/31) provides a solid surface for operations, with its orientation potentially influencing wind-related approach strategies. The airport's medium classification indicates it supports regional and potentially some commercial aviation activities.

Approach Considerations

Runway 13/31's 5,000-foot length provides adequate landing and takeoff distance for many aircraft categories. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and runway orientation when planning approaches, using the runway's alignment to optimize crosswind handling. Standard instrument approach procedures and visual flight rules should be followed, with careful attention to local terrain and elevation characteristics.
