About Grand Forks Airport

Overview

Grand Forks Airport serves as a medium-sized airport situated in British Columbia, Canada, at coordinates 49.015598, -118.431000. Located at an elevation of 1720 feet mean sea level (MSL), the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local region and supporting transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 1720 ft MSL suggests a moderate terrain environment that can experience variable weather conditions typical of British Columbia's interior regions. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations given the airport's geographical location, with runway 07/25 providing a 4300-foot asphalted surface to accommodate different wind scenarios.

Notable Features

Situated in a terrain that likely features mixed landscape characteristics of British Columbia's interior, Grand Forks Airport offers a runway aligned at 07/25 with a substantial 4300-foot length. The airport's medium classification indicates it can support a range of aircraft operations, from smaller general aviation aircraft to regional transportation needs.

Approach Considerations

With a single runway oriented at 07/25, pilots should carefully assess wind conditions and utilize the full 4300-foot asphalted surface for approach and landing. The airport's elevation and geographical positioning may require standard terrain awareness and appropriate approach planning consistent with medium-altitude Canadian airport operations.
