About Rivière-du-Loup Airport

Overview

Rivière-du-Loup Airport serves the Lower St. Lawrence region in Quebec, Canada, providing critical transportation infrastructure for the area. Located at coordinates 47.764400, -69.584702, this medium-sized airport sits at an elevation of 427 feet above mean sea level, supporting regional aviation needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 427 ft MSL suggests a moderate terrain environment with potential for variable weather conditions typical of Quebec's maritime climate. Pilots should anticipate seasonal temperature and wind variations that can impact flight operations, particularly during winter and transitional seasons.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (05/23) with a substantial length of 6,000 feet, constructed with an asphalt surface. Its geographic position in the Lower St. Lawrence region indicates potential for terrain-influenced wind patterns and localized meteorological conditions that pilots should carefully assess during pre-flight planning.

Approach Considerations

Runway 05/23's orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios, with the 6,000-foot asphalt surface providing adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft operations. Pilots should conduct thorough wind assessments and be prepared for potential wind shear or turbulence related to the surrounding regional topography.
