About Prince George Airport
Overview
Prince George Airport serves central British Columbia as a medium-sized airport located at 2267 ft elevation. Situated at coordinates 53.884311, -122.666554, the airport supports regional transportation and connects communities in this northern Canadian region. Its three substantial runways enable diverse aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect variable weather conditions with significant seasonal temperature range from -34°C to 27°C. Flight rules statistically break down as VFR (57.4%), MVFR (20.2%), IFR (9.5%), and LIFR (12.9%), indicating predominantly visual flight conditions. Wind patterns are predominantly southerly at an average of 7.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 30 knots and calm periods comprising 10.6% of observations.
Notable Features
The airport features three asphalt runways with substantial lengths: Runway 15/33 at 11,450 ft, Runway 06/24 at 5,628 ft, and Runway 01/19 at 3,769 ft. Visibility averages 7.6 statute miles, with occasional reduced conditions including fog events (9.1%) and periods where visibility drops below 3 statute miles (5.7% of observations).
Approach Considerations
September through November offer the most consistently favorable VFR conditions for operations. All three runways demonstrate 100% wind favorability, with minimal average crosswind components: Runway 01/19 at 2.4 knots, Runway 15/33 at 3.4 knots, and Runway 06/24 at 6.1 knots. Pilots should anticipate potential wind and visibility variations typical of a northern Canadian airport environment.
