About Anahim Lake Airport
Overview
Anahim Lake Airport (CAJ4) is a medium airport located in British Columbia, Canada, serving the Anahim Lake region at an elevation of 3,635 feet mean sea level. Positioned at coordinates 52.451501, -125.303776, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for this remote area of western Canada. Its strategic location supports various aviation needs in the challenging terrain of central British Columbia.
Flying Conditions
The airport's high elevation of 3,635 ft MSL significantly impacts atmospheric conditions and aircraft performance, requiring careful preflight planning and calculation. Two runways offer operational flexibility: Runway 06/24 with a gravel surface measuring 2,738 feet, and Runway 13/31 with an asphalt surface extending 3,930 feet. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations and density altitude effects characteristic of this mountainous region.
Notable Features
Anahim Lake Airport features two distinct runway surfaces, providing adaptability for different aircraft types and operational requirements. The longer Runway 13/31 with its asphalt surface offers enhanced performance capabilities compared to the shorter gravel Runway 06/24. The surrounding terrain suggests a mountainous environment that demands heightened situational awareness and precise navigation techniques.
Approach Considerations
With runways oriented at 06/24 and 13/31, pilots have multiple approach options depending on wind conditions and aircraft capabilities. The substantial length difference between runways (2,738 ft vs 3,930 ft) provides operational flexibility for various aircraft categories. Careful attention to runway surface type and local terrain is essential for safe approach and landing procedures.
