About Smiths Falls-Montague (Russ Beach) Airport

Overview

Smiths Falls-Montague Airport, identified by ICAO code CYSH, serves the eastern Ontario region near Smiths Falls, Canada. Located at 44.945801, -75.940598, this medium airport provides aviation services to the local community at an elevation of 416 feet mean sea level. The airport features two runways that accommodate different aircraft types and operational needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's moderate elevation of 416 feet suggests a relatively mild terrain environment typical of eastern Ontario. With two runways - a 4000-foot asphalt primary runway (06/24) and a 1500-foot grass secondary runway (15/33) - pilots can expect flexible landing options depending on wind conditions. Seasonal variations in eastern Ontario can produce significant changes in wind patterns and visibility.

Notable Features

Smiths Falls-Montague Airport offers dual runway configurations that provide operational flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions. The primary asphalt runway (06/24) at 4000 feet provides substantial length for most general aviation aircraft, while the secondary grass runway (15/33) offers alternative landing options. The airport's location in eastern Ontario suggests potential terrain and wind considerations typical of the region.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should assess both runway options based on current wind conditions, with the 4000-foot asphalt runway (06/24) being the primary approach surface. The secondary 1500-foot grass runway (15/33) may be suitable for smaller aircraft or during specific wind alignments. Standard approach procedures should be verified through current aeronautical charts and local flight information.
