Overview

Wiarton Airport serves the Bruce Peninsula region in Ontario, Canada, providing critical aviation infrastructure for the area. Located at 44.745800, -81.107201 with an elevation of 729 ft MSL, the airport supports regional transportation and general aviation activities. Its medium-sized classification and two runways enable diverse aircraft operations in southwestern Ontario.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Wiarton Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 55.1% of the time. Marginal VFR conditions occur 27.8% of observations, while Instrument Flight Rules develop in 15.2% of cases. Seasonal temperature ranges from -23°C to 28°C, with an average of 1.9°C, creating potential for dynamic meteorological scenarios.

Notable Features

The airport features two distinct runways: Runway 05/23 measuring 5021 feet of asphalt surface, and Runway 11/29 at 3100 feet with a gravel surface. Prevailing winds consistently approach from the south at 180 degrees, with an average speed of 8.7 knots and occasional gusts up to 27 knots. Wind patterns are remarkably consistent, with both runways demonstrating 100% favorable wind alignments.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should anticipate southern wind patterns with an average crosswind of approximately 5.5 knots across both runways. Visibility typically exceeds 10 statute miles, though 12.9% of observations present visibility below 3SM. October, September, and November represent the most favorable months for visual flight conditions, offering optimal approach and departure environments.
