About Thompson Airport
Overview
Thompson Airport serves the northern Manitoba region, situated at an elevation of 729 ft MSL near Thompson, CA. As a medium-sized airport with two runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and supports various operational needs in this remote geographical area.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Thompson Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 64% of the time. Temperature ranges from an extreme low of -38°C to 25°C, creating challenging winter flying conditions. Wind patterns are predominantly northwestern at an average of 6.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 29 knots.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a 5800-foot asphalted runway (06/24) and a 5079-foot gravel runway (15/33). Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind conditions of 4-4.8 knots. The airport's geographical location suggests potential for challenging winter and seasonal meteorological transitions.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate variable visibility conditions, with an average of 13.4 statute miles but occasional periods where visibility drops below 3 miles. September, December, and January historically present the most consistent Visual Flight Rules conditions. When planning approaches, consider the prevailing northwestern wind patterns and be prepared for potential low-visibility scenarios.
