About Revelstoke Airport
Overview
Revelstoke Airport serves the mountainous region of British Columbia, located in the city of Revelstoke. Situated at 1,459 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area, supporting regional transportation and potentially tourism-related activities in this mountain terrain.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Revelstoke Airport demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) conditions present 37.4% of the time and marginal VFR conditions occurring 40.6% of observations. Temperature ranges from -14°C to 28°C, creating diverse flying challenges, while wind patterns are predominantly northerly at an average of 5.4 knots, with calm conditions recorded 45.7% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway 12/30 spans 4,800 feet with an asphalt surface, positioned in a mountain valley environment. Terrain surrounding the airport likely presents complex topographical considerations for pilots, with potential mountain wave and localized wind effect interactions that require careful navigation and situational awareness.
Approach Considerations
Runway 12/30 demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of only 3.5 knots. Pilots should note visibility averages 7.1 statute miles, with reduced visibility (below 3 miles) occurring in 5.6% of observations and fog present 8.5% of the time. September, October, and November statistically offer the most consistent VFR conditions for operations.
