About CFB Trenton

CFB Trenton is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the CA AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

CFB Trenton is a medium airport located in Trenton, Ontario, serving as an important military aviation facility. Situated at an elevation of 283 feet MSL, the airport provides critical infrastructure for Canadian Armed Forces operations in the region. Its strategic location and substantial runway infrastructure make it a key transportation hub.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at CFB Trenton demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing 67% of the time. Pilots can expect temperature ranges from -21°C to 27°C, with an average of 3.1°C. Wind patterns are predominantly westerly at 7.6 knots, with occasional gusts up to 32 knots, making careful wind assessment critical during flight planning.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalt runways: the primary 06/24 runway extending 10,000 feet, and a secondary 13/31 runway measuring 3,025 feet. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind conditions (3.9 knots for 06/24 and 5.3 knots for 13/31). Visibility averages 12.3 statute miles, with rare instances of reduced visibility.

Approach Considerations

September through November represent the most consistent VFR months for operations. With calm wind conditions occurring 5.8% of the time, pilots should be prepared for potential wind variability. The long primary runway provides excellent landing options, while the secondary runway offers additional operational flexibility during changing meteorological conditions.
