About Thicket Portage Airport

Overview

Thicket Portage Airport serves the remote community of Thicket Portage in Manitoba, Canada, located at coordinates 55.318901, -97.707802. As a medium airport situated at 678 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for northern Manitoba's isolated regions, supporting essential regional connectivity.

Flying Conditions

The airport's northern latitude at 55.3 degrees means experiencing significant seasonal weather variations with potentially challenging winter conditions. Pilots should anticipate variable winds and rapid meteorological changes typical of Manitoba's subarctic climate, particularly given the airport's exposed geographical location.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (12/30) constructed of crushed rock, measuring 2,220 feet in length. Its elevated position at 678 feet MSL and surrounding terrain suggest potential turbulence and wind gradient considerations for approaching and departing aircraft, requiring careful navigation and approach planning.

Approach Considerations

Runway 12/30's crushed rock surface demands heightened awareness of surface conditions, particularly during seasonal transitions. Pilots should conduct thorough preflight assessments of current surface conditions and be prepared for potential reduced braking effectiveness compared to paved surfaces, especially during wet or freezing conditions.
