Weather Briefing
VFRNatashquan Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,300 feet and 9 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (310°) at 12 knots. Runway 32 is favored with a 12-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 SM. The ceiling is 3300 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is -1°C (30°F) with a dewpoint of -6°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. Temperatures are at or below freezing. Check for icing conditions and ensure aircraft anti-ice/de-ice systems are operational if required.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 12 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light Snow, Light Snow, FCST, FCST. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Snow between 09:00Z and 14:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Light Snow between 09:00Z and 14:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Snow between 14:00Z and 20:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Natashquan Airport
Overview
Natashquan Airport serves the coastal community of Natashquan in Quebec, Canada, positioned at 50.190114, -61.788980. As a medium airport with a single runway (14/32) measuring 4,494 feet of asphalt surface, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this remote maritime region. The airport sits at a modest elevation of 39 feet above mean sea level.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Natashquan demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) conditions present 44.9% of the time and marginal VFR conditions occurring 38.6% of observations. Temperatures range dramatically from -27°C to 22°C, with an average of -0.9°C, indicating potential icing and temperature-related challenges. Winds predominantly blow from the west (270°) at an average of 11.5 knots, with occasional gusts up to 37 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's coastal location suggests potential for rapid weather changes and marine-influenced meteorological conditions. Visibility averages 7.3 statute miles, with only 5.8% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles. Fog is relatively rare, occurring in just 0.5% of observations. September, October, and December consistently offer the most favorable visual flying conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 14/32 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with favorable wind conditions 100% of the time and an average crosswind component of 7.9 knots. Pilots should anticipate western wind patterns and prepare for potential temperature-related performance considerations. The moderate runway length of 4,494 feet provides adequate landing and takeoff capabilities for most regional aircraft.
