About Hearst René Fontaine Municipal Airport
Overview
Hearst René Fontaine Municipal Airport serves the community of Hearst in Ontario, Canada, located at coordinates 49.714199, -83.686096. As a medium-sized airport situated at an elevation of 827 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and local operational needs.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 827 ft MSL suggests a moderate terrain environment typical of northern Ontario. Being situated at this latitude, pilots should anticipate potential significant seasonal weather variations that could impact flying conditions, particularly during winter months when northern Ontario experiences challenging meteorological conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features a single asphalt runway (04/22) with a substantial length of 4,500 feet, which provides adequate runway capacity for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographic location in northern Ontario indicates potential challenges related to remote airport operations, including potential limited support infrastructure and variable environmental conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 04/22's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. Pilots should carefully evaluate wind conditions and runway alignment when planning arrivals and departures, utilizing the full 4,500-foot runway length to ensure safe operational margins.
