The Motel and airport was sold a year or two ago and has been removed and replaced with a Travel Trailer sales display space. So Airport no longer exists.
This airport, with its 2,119 ft runway, gets attention as one of the world's (so-called) most dangerous airports, but that's a bit nonsensical. It's more a matter of what plane you're choosing to land there.
A Twin Otter or even DC-3 could handle it without breaking a sweat, and probably leave a lot of the runway unused; a 747 would shoot off the end at full speed and end up as a smoking wreck.
In between those extremes, it's a matter of how close you want to cut it to your plane's maximum performance, as with any airplane and runway.
Hi I’m wondering the condition of the runways during winter and if you can land and take off with straight floats ? And if so is there a contact to line up a place to tie down or even better hangar space for rent perhaps . Thanks
This triangular field was RCAF Detachment Granum (for the nearby town) and was the #1 relief field for No. 7 Service Flying Training School at Fort Macleod.
FAA is notoriously bad at plotting correct lat/longs of heliports. This probably did exist somewhere within a 5 mile radius of this spot. AirNav doesn't list RI14 anymore at any rate.
I am just learning to fly and checking out this website to learn all the airports and airfields in the south of Alberta.
Last time I was in to Drumheller was to meet aviation friends, but we drove in. Loved the airport and the staff hanging around , had a lovely lunch...rats can't remember the place in town, then went through The Royal Tyrell Museum....very interesting indeed!! Keep the Shiny Side Up!!! Caroline
What a great old airport!!! She was built in the 1940's as a British Commonwealth Air Training Plan airport for the boys to learn how to fly those big bombers!! It is sad to see most of those old gals in Alberta have disappeared........they must have been something to see all across Canada!!! Too bad that most of them have not been maintained!! CEN4 - High River has been plowed under, but Google earth still shows her triangle!!! Want to do some history search?? Go slowly over each Province and look for that tell tale triangle!!! Safe flying out there!!!! Caroline
Great airport. My first visit was to drop supplies for victims of Hurricane Ida. The place looked like a war zone, in part because an army search/rescue unit was staging from there. Hope to be back when they've built back!
3 runways 2 grass 1 cement look to be in good shape. Went down to work on an irrigation engine. Was a sign on nice big hanger “for sale or rent” I would love to have it at home.
Carriacou est une île magnifique avec une piste courte et étroite de 800m de long.
Je vous conseille de ne pas y atterrir trop chargé (ne pas atteindre la MTOW) car au décollage vous devrez éviter les arbres qui entourent la piste et une colline dans l'axe de piste en faisant un virage à gauche dès que possible.
A l'atterrissage faites attention dans la baie où vous serez en finale, il peut y avoir des bateaux qui mouillent dans l'axe.
Ils n'ont pas d'AVGAS 100LL donc prévoyez assez de fuel pour revenir à l'aérodrome de départ.
Sinon vous avez TVSA qui a du 100LL si besoin.
Prenez soin de vous et bons vols !
ENGLISH :
Carriacou is a beautiful island with a short and narrow 800m long runway.
I advise you not to land there too loaded (do not reach the MTOW) because on take-off you will have to avoid the trees that surround the runway and a hill in the axis of the runway by making a left turn as soon as possible.
When landing, be careful in the bay where you will be on final, there may be boats anchoring in the axis.
They do not have AVGAS 100LL so take enough fuel to return to the departure aerodrome.
Otherwise you have TVSA (St Vincent) which has 100LL if necessary.
Earned all my ratings here...from PVT up through CFI-IA. Great facilities, 2 flight schools on the field, maintenance is top-notch, Garmin dealer, and plenty of hangar space (not cheap, but not overly out of line for the area). AIrport has been in operation since the 1920s, and has a good working relationship with the town after many years of issues during the 1980s...could stand as an example of how to go along to get along in the most densely populated state in the US.
As a pilot, during COVID time, it's not harder to go to this airport. You just need to find a nice Handler (HARRIS) that will take care of everything when you arrive there (even with a C172). The West Coast of the Island can be turbulent in the afternoon. When I go to Hewanorra coming from the north of the caribbean, I generally pass on the East Coast to make that flight comfortable for passengers.
The provincial governor had promised reconstruction of this airport at least as far back as 2018 and progress is being made on reopening it despite COVID related delays.
Do you need a loan to fire up business or to cover your bills and a corporate monetary for real estate and any sorts of business financing. They give out loan to genuine minded people that are interested at 2% rate. They are extremely efficient. They can increase your score and clean your report in somedays too as they did for me. They give solutions to all credit issues. Contact if you interested @ PERMANENTCREDITREPAIRER AT GMAIL DOT COM
I landed here at 2am on 7/30 after landing at Deadhorse around midnight. Night may not be the right word since it was basically a 4 hour long sunset/rise. Absolutely incredible
I've given this a provisional name based on the location, but I've come up with the same problem as @im -- not mapped, no data available. More research needed.
I have been to the San Diego airport several times to drop my mom it is a very crowded airport but still the management here works very fast we didn't have to stand in line for a long time.
Very bumpy surface, I’d say its “iffy” for a Cirrus with wheel pants. Incredible spot, short walk to wonderful beach, tie downs and picnic tables on site. Need to sign a waiver and agreement with the operator before landing.
