About Sept-Îles Airport
Overview
Sept-Îles Airport serves the northeastern Quebec maritime region, providing critical transportation infrastructure for a remote coastal area. Located at 50.223301, -66.265602 with an elevation of 180 ft MSL, the airport supports regional and commercial aviation needs. Its three paved runways range from 5771ft to 6552ft, accommodating diverse aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather data indicates highly variable conditions typical of northeastern Canada, with significant seasonal temperature fluctuations from -31°C to 21°C. Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions predominate 70.6% of the time, though pilots should anticipate Marginal VFR (14.9%) and Instrument Flight Rules (11.8%) scenarios. Prevailing winds from the northeast (45°) average 7.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 25 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's three runways (05/23, 09/27, and 13/31) offer excellent wind coverage, with each runway demonstrating 100% favorable wind alignment. Average crosswinds remain consistently moderate, ranging between 4.4 and 5.1 knots across runway configurations. The coastal location suggests potential for rapid weather changes and marine-influenced atmospheric conditions.
Approach Considerations
Optimal visual flying conditions occur during September, October, and November, offering the most stable weather windows. Average visibility exceeds 17.7 statute miles, though pilots should be prepared for occasional reduced visibility events, including 4.5% occurrence of fog and 7.4% of conditions below 3 statute miles. All runways provide reliable wind alignment, enabling flexible approach and departure options.
