About Gimli Industrial Park Airport

Overview

Gimli Industrial Park Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Gimli, Canada, situated at coordinates 50.628101, -97.043297. The airport serves the Gimli industrial region with a substantial runway 15/33 measuring 6800 feet in length and constructed with asphalt surface. Its strategic location and infrastructure support various industrial and regional aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Located at an elevation of 753 feet mean sea level, Gimli Industrial Park Airport experiences typical Prairie region weather conditions with potential significant seasonal variations. The airport's elevated position and open terrain can lead to dynamic wind patterns that pilots should carefully monitor during approach and departure. Runway 15/33's substantial 6800-foot length provides flexibility for different aircraft types under varying meteorological conditions.

Notable Features

The airport's geographic positioning in Manitoba offers a relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Canadian Prairies. Its asphalt runway enables operations for medium-sized aircraft, supporting industrial and regional transportation needs. The airport's infrastructure suggests capabilities for handling commercial, industrial, and potentially some charter operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 15/33's orientation indicates potential crosswind challenges depending on prevailing wind directions. Pilots should carefully assess wind conditions given the airport's open prairie environment and elevation. The 6800-foot runway length provides substantial margin for most medium-sized aircraft approach and landing requirements.
