Post by mizuno »

Looking for the closest airport to Humboldt Saskatchewan with a paved runway, 4500 ft. long by 100 ft. wide minimum.
All help appreciated.

Cheers

I have a hunch that the original poster, 'mizuno', is a United States based corporate pilot who wishes to use local lore, wisdom and unsubstantiated fact to assist him/her in planning a flight into the Great White North.

Used the CFS, figured it was YXE but thought I would use some "local" knowledge to see if we could find something closer. As for the asssumptions on type of operator, not having a CFS, or base what does it matter, just looking for some help.

Would 4500 feet long by 50 feet wide do or does your airplane have a very wide landing gear? :mrgreen:

We have a company limit of 100 ft. width but do occasssionally use narrower. Can you provide a closer airport with the 4500ft. by 50 ft. you mentioned.

Can you go down to 3000 foot runway? Melfort (CJZ3) is 3000 x 75.
