Weather Briefing
VFRIvujivik Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 15 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 10.8 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (20°) at 15 knots. Runway 07/25 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 11-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 15 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is -5°C (23°F) with a dewpoint of -9°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods. Temperatures are at or below freezing. Check for icing conditions and ensure aircraft anti-ice/de-ice systems are operational if required.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Ivujivik Airport
Ivujivik Airport (CYIK/YIK) is located in Ivujivik, CA at an elevation of 126 feet MSL. The airport has 1 runway (07/25), with the longest at 3,521 feet.
Weather Profile
CYIK is weather-challenged, with VFR conditions just 40% of the time across 2,244 observations. IFR/LIFR conditions are present 19.2% of the time, making an instrument rating essential for reliable access.
Wind Patterns & Runway Selection
Prevailing winds at CYIK come from the S (180°) with an average speed of 13.6 knots and recorded gusts up to 38 knots. Calm winds are rare (1.6%), so crosswind considerations are a regular factor. Runway 07/25 offers the lowest average crosswind component at 9.9 knots, making it the preferred choice in typical wind conditions.
Seasonal Considerations
The best months for VFR operations are February, March, April, when clear skies are most prevalent. Temperatures at the field range from -33°C (-27°F) to 11°C (52°F), averaging -10.6°C (13°F). Cold weather operations require attention to aircraft preheating, de-icing, and cold-soaked fuel management. Altimeter settings typically range from 28.82 to 30.71 inHg (976-1040 hPa).
