Saratoga
Hi,
I presently own a Piper Cherokee PA-28 140, with a private pilot license. I am looking to buy a Piper Saratoga Turbo in the US and would like to train on one now so I can get current in this model and can bring it back. I am going in Rochester New York, on May 18, to get my American Pilot License. I have a night rating and I am within a coupe of hours to get my VFROTT.
I would be interested in renting a Saratoga or maybe if no Saratoga are available a Piper Six. And pay for some training on it. Do you or any of your member have a Saratoga (preferably a T-Saratoga) that I could rent or inquiry for rent and training.

Re: Canada Customs
The St. Lazare airport is not a designated airport of entry for the Canadian Border Services Agency. Les Cedres airport to the south is an airport of entry designated for CANPASS permit holders only. Otherwise, you will need to clear at CYUL, CYMX, CYHU or CSE4 (Lachute).
re: Home base on the island
Reply to @cvander: Would you be interested in sharing your hangar at Gore Bay airport? I'd like to bring my aircraft there occasionally in the summer but would like to keep it "inside". I haven't made the plunge yet to lease a hangar for the whole year. Please send me a note at kapling01-lancair@yahoo.com . Thanks!
Summer visitors
If only you could rent a hangar for the summer months. It seems cost inefficient to rent a hangar for the whole year and only use it for four or five months. Maybe the airport should look into some type of temporary summer hangars?
Lots of parking and fuel, great hotel
Great place to stop over night. Lots of parking near the Casino/Hotel and fuel service.
Kugluktuk (aka Coppermine pre-1996)
100 LL is available here. Time-expired but still good. Drums are sealed. About $450 per drum, full drums only. Co-Op is the dealer (867) 982-4231. Call-out charges after-hours. Bring your own pump, bung wrench and filter.
No tie-downs. 5,500 x 150 gravel.
Overnight stays not recommended if on floats due to exposed location, limited beach area and vandalism. Since you won't get an overnight hotel room during the summer anyway, fly out to a good fishing spot and camp for the night.
No camping at the airport but there is a campsite about a mile from the airport. No taxi - you'll have to bum a ride (what can I say - we're embarrassingly backward!).
Contact the local resident pilot (through the RCMP) for possible assistance.

New restriction.
Does anyone know why valleyfield airport has a new restriction on private use.
ILS / PAPI Angles
Some useless trivia... the ILS glideslope for runway 08 is 3.5 degrees (PAPI 3.9 degrees). The ILS glideslope for runway 26 is 4.8 degrees (as is the PAPI). The PAPI angle for runway 15 is 5.5 degrees, which is the same as the ILS at London City Airport (EGLC). The steepest ILS that I could find is at Lugano, Switzerland (LSZA); the ILS glideslope is 6.65 degrees.
re: Fuel Availability
As far as I know, the airbase has been closed for sometime.
Fuel Availability
Can fuel be purchased at this location?
re: My Home Base
Reply to @dazuppa: it's not hard to bring a Cherokee in on a 6+ deg glidepath - I'm guessing the ILS 26 isn't quite that steep.
canada customs
that is a great comment, I was wondering how the customs checks are done at St. LAzare airport??

Hi,

re: Nice Airport, Mediocre Service
I agree with you and disagree at the same time. I agree that the terminal staff are not friendly but disagree that the flying club members are friendly. I found them not to be friendly either and arrogant.
re: Super gracious hosts at Cortes BC
I am not anonymous... that was me... Erissa from Cobalt Aviation , Pitt Meadows that flew my 182 in with Barry in his 172
re: Super gracious hosts at Cortes BC
I flew my 182 in with Barry in his 172 ... from CYPK. Without notice, Jim came out to greet me...NICER than your long lost uncle! WOW... what a place. Warm, clean, lots of space and the view to the kill of Desolation sound. THE HOSPITALITY is first class bar none!!!! Great folks laid out Dianne's fresh baking and cheese and cold cuts and tea.... and begged us to stay. AND I even left with a bottle of Jam from Diane's personal creation made from Salal berries she harvested there. Incredible place. It is now for sale!

Ft Macleod aerodrome of 1943
My dad, NLHead, flew out of this aerodrome, in 1943 in an Avro Anson, and Cessna Crane as well as the North American Harvard. I would like more pictures, information about this airport at that time. it was an important time in history. I flew out of it too as a 14 year old. very interesting, intensive time of life, which i now treasure as i look back in time.

wow
great little place. the people I met there were friendly, and quite helpful. spent some time there,
snowed in. the ladies at the library were most helpful, and didn't mind us laying out the charts, and flight planning. the fuel guys, and flying club members we talked to were a world of help, and we really appreciate our stay.
snow
nice place, available fuel. windy. stopped in over the new year, crew plowed big berm of snow right up to the tail of my plane. called maintenance, explained I was going to have to leave in a couple days, and was assured it would be cleared. next evening I went out and hand shoveled. wasn't to bad, under 2 hours, -25 degrees, wind 25 knots gusting higher. (didn't check how cold wind chill) just darn cold. still not sure why they would do that, only plane at the tie downs. plenty of room to plow snow, and built berm on up wind side of field. ?????
re: flights to Toronto Island airport
Porter is the only airline flying scheduled service into Toronto Island right now (January 2011). They have added flights to Sudbury, so it might be worth getting in touch with them and seeing if they think there might be a market for a daily flight to Kingston as well.
Past Employee
I'm looking for information on a past employee and anyone that might of known her, can someone contact me through email, and i can explain why i'm looking for information on someone that worked for you and that has since past away. It would mean the world to me! my email is julie_sue_beaudry@hotmail.com, please put as subject "Collingwood Airport past Employee" Thank you in advance!!
flights to Toronto Island airport
Please tell me why on earth in this day and age you do not have regular commuter flights between Kingston and Downtown Toronto and/or Montreal. So many people I know who travel for work, including my husband, would fly weekly to and from Kingston over taking the train. Kingston is a wonderful place to live and having that access would be such a big draw for those who don't wish to live in the big city but must resort to working there.
We live in Kingston and I wouldn't change that for anything, but, I loose my husband to travel every week. The excessive lost hours he has accrued between airports and train stations in the last 12 years cannot even be counted at this point. Having a Kingston to Toronto Island route could knock off an hour and a half each way.
runway
"Subject to cross winds." ? Runway is 07/25...25 is aligned with the prevailing winds of the area, namely from the west.
Great little airport
This is a great little airport along side a practice area which makes it great for students to practice diversions, soft and short field techniques even during winter as this strip is well maintained year round.

Original User comment...early 1970's
This strip was a mess the last time I saw it...early breakup that year. Came out in a ski mod twin otter, with the mud flying all over the sides of the plane...
Back earlier, in that winter, it was fine...we used an Electra and had Herc's in all the time...we drilled a single hole and left. (dry)...
Enjoyed an afternoon tea with Dr. Kent from BP London one day while there...he was fog'ed out of his strip and stopped by to wait it out. This was the "Head Knocker" of BP Oil's Geology Dept, found oil all over the world...very interesting guy to pass some time with...
Worst Airport Ever

— Anonymous Flyer at Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, Canada
Let me list the reasons:
1)Last flight to Charlottetown always delayed. Always a different reason
2)Ground crew work for the Sopranos - if you land 1 minute early or or 1 minute late, the ground crew needs to be redispatched, forget it if lightning is seens 1000kms away, cus they are not going on the tarmac.
3)Small, dirty washrooms
4)Narrow congrested corridors
5)Terminal A under the tunnel is always sweltering hot
6)Terrrible food selection
