About Meadow Lake Airport
Overview
Meadow Lake Airport serves the Meadow Lake region in Canada, situated at an elevation of 1576 ft MSL. The medium-sized airport features two asphalt runways that support various general aviation and regional operations. Located at coordinates 54.125301, -108.523003, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Meadow Lake Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions predominating at 64.2% of observations. Pilots can expect considerable temperature ranges from -38°C to 28°C, with an average temperature of -4°C. Wind patterns are predominantly westerly at 270°, averaging 8.4 knots with occasional gusts up to 38 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's two runways offer complementary operational capabilities: Runway 09/27 measures 5000 ft in length, while Runway 17/35 provides a shorter 2290 ft option. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with relatively low average crosswind components of 4.3 knots for 09/27 and 6.2 knots for 17/35. The geographic location suggests potential for challenging winter flying conditions.
Approach Considerations
Visibility typically remains excellent, averaging 12.4 statute miles with only 6.9% of observations showing reduced visibility below 3 miles. Pilots should note the highest probability of favorable VFR conditions during January, September, and October. The consistent westerly winds and low crosswind values make both runways generally accessible with minimal wind-related complications.
