Airport comments for the World
Comments 16,135 to 16,139 of 16,139
Electrical outlets
The new terminal has lots of electrical outlets for laptops, etc. in the waiting areas -- they're on the pillars at the ends of some rows.
U.S. Customs
Customs is pretty easygoing about arrival times (since they're always on the field), but they'll meet you only at Jet or Atlantic, not at the other FBOs.
IFR
CYRP does not have an instrument approach, but some pilots shoot an approach to Gatineau (about 4-5 miles away) then break off and scud run over. I'd want a pretty good ceiling to try that, and wouldn't even consider it at night. Fortunately, CYOW is also close, and has two ILS's.
Self-serve fuel
I have read that they've recently added a 24-hour self-serve AvGas pump, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
