About Timmins/Victor M. Power

Overview

Timmins/Victor M. Power Airport serves the northeastern Ontario region, located in the city of Timmins at an elevation of 967 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for transportation, resource industry support, and regional connectivity in a challenging northern Canadian environment.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at CYTS demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing 48.1% of the time. Winter temperatures can drop to -36°C, while summer peaks at 28°C, creating dynamic seasonal flying challenges. Wind patterns are predominantly southerly at an average of 7 knots, with occasional gusts up to 24 knots that pilots must anticipate.

Notable Features

Both runways (03/21 and 10/28) are asphalt-surfaced with substantial lengths of 6000 and 4903 feet respectively. The airport experiences diverse meteorological conditions, including reduced visibility events, with observations showing below 3-mile visibility in 5.8% of recorded conditions and fog present 2.9% of the time. September, October, and January offer the most consistently favorable VFR flying conditions.

Approach Considerations

Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components (4.9 knots for 03/21 and 4.5 knots for 10/28). Pilots should be prepared for potential instrument meteorological conditions, as IFR and MVFR conditions combine to represent 47.5% of observed weather patterns. The airport's moderate crosswind characteristics and substantial runway lengths provide flexibility for most aircraft operations.
