About Charlottetown Airport
Overview
Charlottetown Airport serves Prince Edward Island's capital city, situated on the eastern coast of Canada. As a medium-sized airport with two parallel asphalt runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Maritime region. The airport's elevation of 160 feet MSL and strategic location make it an important regional transportation hub.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with approximately 59.5% of observations reporting visual flight rules. Wind patterns are consistently westerly at an average of 9.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 31 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -17°C to 26°C, which requires careful preflight planning and equipment consideration.
Notable Features
The airport features two similarly sized runways (03/21 and 10/28), both approximately 7,000 feet long and constructed of asphalt. Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage and modest average crosswind components around 6.3 and 6.1 knots respectively. The coastal location likely contributes to the variable weather conditions observed.
Approach Considerations
September through November offer the most consistent VFR conditions for arrivals and departures. With an average visibility of 12.8 statute miles and only 5% of observations showing visibility below 3SM, pilots can generally expect good visual conditions. Fog occurs in approximately 1.5% of observations, so winter and shoulder seasons may require additional weather monitoring.
