About Barrie-Lake Simcoe Regional Airport
Overview
Barrie-Lake Simcoe Regional Airport (CYLS) is a medium-sized airport located in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. Positioned at 44.485056, -79.554663, the airport serves the Lake Simcoe region with a substantial 6,001-foot asphalt runway. Its elevation of 972 feet above mean sea level provides pilots with a moderate terrain environment for operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's mid-latitude location suggests variable weather conditions typical of central Ontario. Pilots should anticipate seasonal temperature and wind variations that can significantly impact flight operations. The airport's elevation and geographic position near Lake Simcoe can create localized meteorological phenomena that require careful pre-flight weather assessment.
Notable Features
The single runway (10/28) provides a long, 6,001-foot asphalt surface suitable for a range of aircraft types. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges depending on prevailing regional wind patterns. The airport's regional location near Lake Simcoe offers strategic positioning for transportation and potential geographic navigation references.
Approach Considerations
Runway 10/28's substantial length allows flexibility for various aircraft approach strategies. Pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight planning considering the airport's elevation and potential wind conditions. Standard instrument approach procedures and visual flight rules will be influenced by the airport's geographic characteristics and surrounding terrain.
