About Swan River Airport

Overview

Swan River Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Swan River, Canada, positioned at coordinates 52.120602, -101.236000. Situated at an elevation of 1,100 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves regional aviation needs in its geographical area. Its infrastructure supports multiple runway configurations for diverse operational requirements.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 1,100 ft MSL suggests a moderate terrain environment with potential for variable weather conditions typical of central Canadian regions. The two distinct runways (02/20 and 08/26) provide flexibility for different wind directions and approach scenarios. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal variations in surface conditions, particularly between the asphalt and grass runway surfaces.

Notable Features

Swan River Airport features two runways with different surface compositions: runway 02/20 is asphalt-surfaced and 3,933 feet long, while runway 08/26 is grass-surfaced and 1,950 feet long. The variation in runway lengths and surfaces offers operational adaptability for different aircraft types and meteorological conditions. The dual-runway configuration allows for wind-adaptive operations.

Approach Considerations

Approach strategies should consider the airport's two runways with their distinct characteristics. Runway 02/20's longer asphalt surface (3,933 ft) provides more flexibility for larger aircraft and potentially more stable approach conditions. Pilots should assess current wind directions to select the most appropriate runway, with particular attention to crosswind components and surface conditions.
