About Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport
Overview
Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport serves as a major aviation hub in Manitoba, Canada. Located at coordinates 49.910000, -97.239899, the airport sits at an elevation of 783 feet mean sea level. As a large airport, it supports significant regional and international air traffic for the Winnipeg metropolitan area.
Flying Conditions
Winnipeg's airport experiences significant seasonal weather variations typical of the Canadian prairies. The multiple runway configuration (07/25, 13/31, and 18/36) provides operational flexibility across different wind conditions. Runways range from 4,500 to 11,000 feet in length, all constructed with asphalt surfaces, enabling accommodations for diverse aircraft types.
Notable Features
The airport's three runways offer comprehensive directional coverage, with the longest runway (18/36) measuring 11,000 feet. This extensive runway length supports large commercial aircraft operations and provides substantial landing and takeoff options. The airport's mid-continental location means pilots should anticipate potential rapid weather changes characteristic of prairie environments.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should be prepared to utilize different runways based on prevailing wind conditions, with the three-runway configuration offering significant operational flexibility. The 11,000-foot runway (18/36) provides the most extensive operational capabilities for larger aircraft. Given the airport's elevation and geographic location, pilots should maintain heightened awareness of potential wind shear and temperature variations.
