About Points North Landing Airport

Overview

Points North Landing Airport serves the remote northern region of Saskatchewan, Canada, located at 58.276699, -104.082001. As a medium-sized airport situated at 1605 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this isolated geographical area, supporting regional connectivity and potentially resource exploration operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's high latitude and inland location suggest significant seasonal weather variations, with potential for challenging winter conditions. The gravel runway indicates the airport is designed for rugged, remote terrain operations, which typically means greater susceptibility to changing surface conditions depending on precipitation and temperature.

Notable Features

The single runway (16/34) is 6000 feet long and constructed of gravel, which requires specific landing and takeoff techniques compared to paved surfaces. The airport's elevation of 1605 feet MSL indicates a moderate terrain height that pilots should consider for performance calculations, particularly during high-temperature or high-weight operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 16/34 orientation suggests the airport is aligned approximately north-south, which can influence wind patterns and approach strategies. Pilots should anticipate potential surface irregularities due to the gravel runway and prepare for potentially less predictable braking and ground handling characteristics compared to paved runways.
