About North Bay Jack Garland Airport

Overview

North Bay Jack Garland Airport serves the North Bay region of Ontario, Canada, situated at an elevation of 1215 ft MSL. The airport supports medium-sized aircraft operations with three runways offering substantial operational flexibility, including a primary 10,000 ft asphalt runway capable of handling larger aircraft.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at CYYB demonstrate significant variability, with VFR conditions present 44.4% of the time and MVFR conditions occurring 30% of observations. Temperature ranges extensively from -31°C to 27°C, with an average of -2.1°C, indicating potential challenging winter operations and substantial seasonal temperature fluctuations.

Notable Features

The airport features three runways with different surface compositions: two asphalt (08/26 and 18/36) and one grass (13/31). Prevailing winds consistently approach from the northwest at 315° with an average speed of 8.3 knots, providing predictable wind patterns for pilots planning approaches and departures.

Approach Considerations

All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with relatively consistent average crosswind components between 4.7 and 5.5 knots. Visibility averages 13.7 statute miles, though pilots should be prepared for occasional reduced visibility, with 5.7% of observations showing conditions below 3 statute miles and 3.7% experiencing fog.
