About Rimouski Airport

Overview

Rimouski Airport serves the Quebec region of Canada, located in the eastern part of the province near the St. Lawrence River. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 82 feet MSL, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Rimouski metropolitan area and surrounding regions.

Flying Conditions

The airport's maritime proximity suggests variable weather conditions typical of eastern Quebec, with potential rapid changes in visibility and wind patterns. At 48.477644 latitude and -68.496323 longitude, the airport experiences seasonal temperature variations that can significantly impact aircraft performance and operational considerations.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (07/25) measuring 4,600 feet long and constructed with an asphalt surface. Its moderate length accommodates most medium-sized aircraft and provides operational flexibility for regional and general aviation traffic in the Rimouski area.

Approach Considerations

Runway 07/25's orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios, particularly given the regional geographic characteristics. Pilots should prepare for potential wind variability and ensure thorough preflight planning that accounts for the runway's asphalt surface and moderate length characteristics.
