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.

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.
My instructor pointed out this field a while ago, and every time I fly above it - it does look like an airport. I tried simulated engine failure to approach in this airfield but it's pretty steep on one end and very close to Livermore on the other. Not sure if this is a private field or maybe it never went into operation. Could not find any information about it either
