About Pikwitonei Airport

Overview

Pikwitonei Airport serves the remote community of Pikwitonei in northern Canada, located at coordinates 55.588902, -97.164200. As a medium-sized airport situated at an elevation of 630 feet mean sea level, it provides essential air transportation infrastructure for this northern Manitoba region. The airport supports regional connectivity for a sparsely populated area.

Flying Conditions

Northern Canadian airports like Pikwitonei experience significant seasonal weather variations, with potential challenging conditions during winter months. The airport's elevation at 630 ft MSL suggests a relatively stable terrain environment, which can moderate some extreme weather effects. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswinds and reduced visibility typical of the region's high-latitude climate.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (05/23) constructed with crushed rock surface, measuring 2,200 feet in length. Its runway orientation suggests potential wind exposure from northwest and southeast directions. The medium-sized classification indicates the airport can support regional aircraft operations and serves as an important transportation link for the local community.

Approach Considerations

Runway 05/23's crushed rock surface requires careful speed and landing technique management, particularly during wet or potentially uneven conditions. Pilots should be prepared for potential wind variability given the airport's northern latitude and open terrain. Standard approach procedures should account for the relatively shorter 2,200-foot runway length when planning aircraft operations.
