About Leaf Rapids Airport

Overview

Leaf Rapids Airport serves the remote community of Leaf Rapids in northern Canada, located at 56.513302, -99.985298. As a medium airport situated at 959 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this isolated region, supporting regional and utility aviation needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's northern latitude means pilots can expect significant seasonal weather variations, with potential challenging conditions during winter months. At 959 feet elevation, the airport experiences typical Manitoba subarctic climate patterns that can include rapid weather shifts and reduced visibility.

Notable Features

The single runway 18/36 is 3000 feet long with an asphalt surface, offering sufficient length for medium-sized aircraft operations. The airport's geographic positioning in a remote northern landscape suggests potential terrain complexity and limited surrounding infrastructure that pilots should carefully assess during flight planning.

Approach Considerations

Runway 18/36's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations, particularly given the open terrain characteristics of the region. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variability and prepare for potential wind-related approach adjustments when landing at this northern airport.

Data Sources & Accuracy: Airport information sourced from OurAirports.com, a collaborative database of worldwide airport data. Weather data from official aviation weather services including NOAA Aviation Weather Center and international METAR/TAF providers. Information is updated regularly but pilots should always verify current conditions and NOTAMs through official channels before flight operations.
