Search for a Fleet Canuck aircraft for sale
I'm hoping there may be a Fleet Canuck available at this airport for sale, any help would be appreciated. Is there an airport manager on site?
General Aviation not welcome there
The National Defence ask 14$ landing fees and Promotion Saguenay ask another 16$. An additionnal 25$ fees per passenger was requested and 35$ for daytime parking. Considering that I had 3 passengers on that day, the journey costed me 140$, which is very expensive in comparison to similar airport size.
Flying a drone
Hello,
I want to fly a drone in my farm in Saint Cesaire which is close (4kms approx.) to a small airdrome and far away from the main airports.
I just want to make sure I'm not braking any law by doing that on my private land.
Thanks for your advice.

Great Airport
Easy to use and easy access to downtown Montreal
Pascan was a very reasonably priced FBO
Helpful and cooperative !!
Expensive AOE
Montreal area airports are a real rip off for the Ramp fees for a brief stop to satisfy Canadian customs
Avgas availability at Kujjuaq
Call first to see if they are not out, sold by the complete drum only, you must bring your own pump.
Learning to Fly at CSE4
I just started my PPL at CSE4 and the staff is super friendly and welcoming! The food is great and the service is super professional! I was shocked to hear english when I came through the doors! Nothing but positive comments to say about this friendly airport! Beautiful scenery around the airfield and tons of pilots to talk too!
Growing friendly airport
I have been stationned here since 1994. It is nice to witness a municipal airport in Quebec that is open to bilingualism, not threatened by land-grabing developpers and supported by its town. To wit the explosion of red-roofed hangars over the last 10 years... There has been a change in the management of the airport, restaurant and flying school but it has led to more growth and little change in the service, so all good news. On weekend during the swing seasons, be prepared to encounter some glider activities but the traffic is wide enough and there are no real overflight restrictions that would cause a safety hazard. As for English not being used, I fly in both languages and I have never noticed...

Great Airport - Very active
Visited twice and saw lots of activity happening. Airport manager is very friendly and helpful. Its very scenic to go over the big river just to the west of the airport on climb out or on approach.
Very Nice fascility
Great airport to have a stop over or a fuel stop. Nice retaurant on site and gas stations are just a walking distance. Local community uses French only on radio....Be prepared or be motivated to go nordo. :)
Our flight to Grosse le
Our two father-and-son pilots from Montmagny Airport were excellent - just felt like driving in a car. I just knew they could do this trip blindfolded! Not only did we get 'the tour' but they also located several flocks of Snow Geese for me. Great take-off and soft landing. Thanks to both of you.

re: Baie-Johan-Beetz is now in Quebec :)
Reply to @RaymondR: Doesn't appear in the Water Aerodrome Supplement either.
Baie-Johan-Beetz is now in Quebec :)
This aerodrome is not currently listed in the CFS
Please correct the mistake
It is located in Quebec, not Nova Scotia
New FBO
There's a new FBO at the end of Juliet threshold 24R called H-18 i think. They only serve Jet-A, but they offer the best service on the field. Pascan is crowded with their own airplanes and they rarely have hangar space available. h18 saved me this winter, they gave me an amazing price, even though I was in a 172 and couldn't buy fuel from them. Definitely a place to check out. And they are only 15 minutes driving from downtown!

Deserves to drop behnd Calgary
Arrived 2:00 with a 6:45 AM connecting flight. Went to my departure gate to sleep until boarding, and got rousted out by a security guard. Had to leave the secure area and go back through security. Apparently they hate sleep. I hope they feel like crap that a city 1/3 the size (Calgary) has displaced them as 3rd busiest airport in Canada.
Air Saguenay propriety
Double price for fuel

re: Poor food choices
you serious ? Vancouver has to be the worse airport for Duty Free.....Bourbon and Cuban cigars they have NO idea and they move at a snails pace
gimme the east coast any day
3.5 nauticals from les cedres
the airport is 3.5 nauticals from les cedres airport.....
I suspect possible conflicts in the patters if flying a large one.
Poor food choices
Having a five hour wait for my connecting flight, I was disappointed with the lack of good sit down places to eat. The airport is okay but a bit dingy compared to Vancouver. Great city but dismal airport.
re: How much is Landing Fee CYQB?
Since January 2013, there is now a $20 landing fee for light GA. Just got the bill. What a jip.

re: Phone number
You going to make us guess, or are you going to tell us what the correct number is?
Phone number
Phone number for Aviation CMP is incorrect.
Friendly little airfield
Friendly place to stop, grass or snow. Great for tailwheel, ultralights. Picnic tables, bikes to go into town, washrooms and more.

re: Poor Dorval
Going back to Mirabel sounds like it would make a bad problem worse.
Poor Dorval
Reopen Mirabel and shut down Dorval for good.
Very scenic and great runway surface
beautiful approach over the water, there is a maintenance facility but the airport is usually pretty empty.
mostly floatplanes and taildraggers on the field, there is limited good parking for tricycle geared planes the dirt surfaces look like they go to mud in the rain.
Dorval Customs Cattle Line
Going through Customs at Dorval - after you've walked through the maze to get in line - is so ridiculous that we no longer fly into Dorval. We would rather fly to an airport across the border and drive through customs. Much more relaxing and car rentals are much, much more reasonable than at the Dorval airport.
Aerial view
The airpark is far further along than you can tell from the Google Maps satellite view. Here's a recent aerial photo:

re: Kuujjuarapik Airport
Sorry about old RWY, it was 13/31
Kuujjuarapik Airport
I have over 200 landings with the B737-200 and never had any problems with the RWY.
A precise approach and touchdown point is all you need.
BTW i flew into YGW when there were 2 strips before they condemned 03/21
Tower
They now have a two story octagon tower nearly finished with great views all around.
Runway one way only
A high tension powerline runs accross the runway 18 threshold. Landings are to the north only, takeoffs to the south only.
Closed permanently
The Cargair base at Lac Kaigamac is closed, fuel is available a few miles north at the Marina "Nautique" in St-Michel-des-Saints on Lac Taureau
Private airport
No landing fee, Overnight parking fee ($15.00), have both full (100LL and Jet)
Valpiro FBO at Val D'Or airport
🔗 Tue, 07 Feb 2017
— Anonymous Flyer at Val-d'Or Airport, Canada
Val D'Or was great experience!, Valpiro FBO staff were helpful, friendly and efficient, and we had ground power as soon as we had shut down. We had emailed them overnight and, following their response we phoned and made contact. We arrived and parked on the ramp nearest to their facility and were airborne again 58 minutes later after the refuel, coffee and loo stop! Definitely a top-tip in Northern Canada.
