About Coral Harbour Airport

Overview

Coral Harbour Airport serves the remote community of Coral Harbour in Nunavut, Canada, located in the northwestern part of Hudson Bay. As a medium-sized airport at 210 ft mean sea level, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this isolated Arctic region, supporting regional and local aviation needs.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect significant weather variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) conditions predominating 64.5% of the time. Winter conditions are extreme, with average temperatures at -10.6°C and potential ranges from -40°C to 16°C. Visibility is generally good at 12.8 statute miles, though pilots should be prepared for periodic reduced visibility, with 3.7% of observations showing less than 3SM and 4.5% reporting fog.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (16T/34T) is 5000 feet long with a gravel (GVL) surface, typical of remote northern Canadian airports. Prevailing winds are from the north at an average of 11.7 knots, with occasional strong gusts up to 38 knots. The geographic location suggests challenging Arctic flying conditions with potential for rapid weather changes.

Approach Considerations

Wind conditions strongly favor the 16T/34T runway, with a 100% favorable wind alignment and an average crosswind of only 5.6 knots. The best visual flying months are November, December, and September, offering more stable conditions. Pilots should be prepared for potential rapid weather deterioration and have alternate flight planning strategies for this remote location.
