About Virden / RJ (Bob) Andrew Field Regional Aerodrome
Overview
Virden / RJ (Bob) Andrew Field Regional Aerodrome serves the rural community of Virden, Manitoba, providing essential aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and local aircraft operations. Located at coordinates 49.878300, -100.917999, this medium airport supports general aviation activities with its single runway configuration.
Flying Conditions
Situated at an elevation of 1454 feet above mean sea level, the airport experiences typical Prairie regional weather patterns with potential significant wind variations. The single asphalt runway (08/26) measuring 4000 feet in length provides adequate operational flexibility for most medium-sized aircraft during varying meteorological conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical position in southwestern Manitoba suggests a relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Prairie landscape. Its runway orientation of 08/26 indicates potential crosswind considerations for pilots, requiring careful attention to wind direction and speed during approach and landing procedures.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate standard VFR approach procedures consistent with a regional aerodrome in a rural setting. The 4000-foot asphalt runway offers sufficient length for most general aviation and regional aircraft, with runway 08/26 providing primary landing and takeoff capabilities based on prevailing wind conditions.
