The medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure in a remote, northern landscape, supporting regional and potential military aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 56.2% of the time and Instrument Flight Rules (IFR/LIFR) accounting for approximately 32.8% of observations. Average temperatures hover around -3.6°C, with extreme ranges from -35°C to 18°C, indicating challenging winter flying conditions and potential icing risks.

Notable Features

The single runway (12/30) extends 8,201 feet with an asphalt surface, capable of handling medium-sized aircraft. Prevailing winds from the northwest (315°) average 6.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 31 knots. Wind conditions provide near-100% favorable alignment for runway 12/30, with a modest average crosswind of 2.8 knots.

Approach Considerations

September through December offer the most consistently favorable VFR conditions, with minimal fog (2.5% occurrence) and excellent average visibility of 10 statute miles. Pilots should anticipate potential winter weather challenges, prepare for potential instrument conditions, and leverage the runway's favorable wind alignment for safer approaches and departures.
