About Kapuskasing Airport
Overview
Kapuskasing Airport serves the northeastern Ontario region, located in a remote area with significant transportation infrastructure needs. Situated at 743 ft MSL, the airport provides critical access for regional transportation, resource industry support, and emergency services. Its medium-sized classification and dual runway configuration make it an important aviation facility for the Kapuskasing area.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect highly variable weather conditions, with visual flight rules (VFR) prevailing 47.6% of the time and marginal VFR conditions occurring 30.6% of observations. Temperature ranges dramatically from -33°C to 28°C, creating significant seasonal weather challenges. Wind patterns are predominantly westerly at an average of 8.2 knots, with occasional gusts up to 33 knots that can impact flight operations.
Notable Features
The airport features two asphalted runways with substantial lengths: Runway 10/28 at 3,590 ft and Runway 17/35 at 5,500 ft. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 5.4 and 4.6 knots respectively. The geographical location suggests potential for challenging northern Ontario weather conditions, including frequent visibility restrictions and temperature extremes.
Approach Considerations
Visibility averages 11.1 statute miles, with 8.8% of observations showing reduced visibility below 3 statute miles. Pilots should anticipate potential fog events (3.2% of observations) and prepare accordingly. September, October, and January represent the most consistent VFR months, offering more predictable approach and landing conditions for aviators.
