About Atikokan Municipal Airport

Overview

Atikokan Municipal Airport serves the community of Atikokan in northwestern Ontario, Canada. Located at 48.773899, -91.638603, this medium-sized airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the region. The airport sits at an elevation of 1408 feet above mean sea level, positioning it in a terrain-rich environment typical of northwestern Ontario.

Flying Conditions

Northwestern Ontario presents variable weather conditions that pilots must carefully consider when operating at Atikokan Municipal Airport. The airport's elevation at 1408 ft MSL means potential for temperature and density altitude variations, particularly during summer months. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts given the airport's geographic location and single runway orientation.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (04/22) measuring 3500 feet in length with an asphalt surface. Its moderate runway length accommodates a range of aircraft sizes typical for municipal and regional operations. The airport's geographic positioning in northwestern Ontario suggests potential challenges with terrain and seasonal weather transitions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/22 provides a primary approach avenue for aircraft, with its 3500-foot asphalt surface offering reasonable operational flexibility. Pilots should analyze current wind conditions to determine the most appropriate runway heading, considering potential crosswind components. Standard pre-approach preparations should include thorough review of local terrain and current meteorological conditions.
