About Val-d'Or Airport
Overview
Val-d'Or Airport serves the mining and resource region of northwestern Quebec, providing critical transportation infrastructure for remote communities and industrial operations. Located at 1107 ft MSL near 48.053299, -77.782799, the airport supports medium-sized aircraft with its substantial 10,000 ft asphalt runway.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect significant weather variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) conditions present 40.8% of the time and marginal VFR conditions covering an additional 37.4% of observations. Temperature ranges dramatically from -33°C to 27°C, creating potential challenges for aircraft performance and icing conditions. Wind patterns are predominantly southerly at an average of 7.6 knots, with occasional gusts up to 24 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (18/36) offers excellent wind alignment, with favorable wind conditions 100% of the time and an average crosswind of just 4.1 knots. The geographic location suggests potential terrain considerations typical of northwestern Quebec's boreal landscape, with potential impact on local weather patterns and approach dynamics.
Approach Considerations
Optimal VFR flying conditions occur predominantly in September, October, and January, offering more predictable weather for pilots. With an average visibility of 9.3 statute miles and only 8.8% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles, instrument-rated pilots have reasonable approach flexibility. Pilots should be prepared for occasional fog events, which occur in approximately 2% of observations.
