Weather Briefing
VFRChapleau Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 16,000 feet and 15 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (10°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 15 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 16,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 12°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

As a medium airport with two asphalt runways, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the remote northern region, supporting regional transportation and potential resource exploration operations.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect highly variable weather conditions, with visual flight rules (VFR) conditions prevalent 46.8% of the time. Temperature ranges dramatically from -32°C to 27°C, creating significant seasonal weather variations. The airport experiences prevailing southerly winds at an average of 6.3 knots, with maximum wind speeds reaching 31 knots.
Notable Features
Situated at an elevation of 1,470 feet above mean sea level, Chapleau Airport features two runways: 05/23 (3,000 feet) and 10/28 (5,000 feet). Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with average crosswinds of 4-4.8 knots. Visibility averages an excellent 13.7 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visibility.
Approach Considerations
October, September, and December offer the most consistent VFR conditions for pilots. With calm winds occurring 6.4% of the time, pilots should be prepared for potential wind variability. The longer 10/28 runway provides more landing flexibility, particularly during challenging weather conditions where instrument meteorological conditions occur 26.5% of the time.
