The airport also offers fuel services and extensive Hangar space, and hosts the Canadian Museum Of Flight .


GENERAL INFORMATION

The airport has a paved 2,100-foot Runway and a turf 2,370-foot runway. These relatively short runways make it a good airport for Flight Training purposes because a pilot who trains on short runways is likely to be a more capable pilot. There is also a public road near each end of the paved runway (01/19) resulting in relatively short "Takeoff Distance Available" (TODA).

Due to the proximity of residential areas, runway 19 has a departure noise-abatement procedure that requires a 30-degree turn and runway 25 has a departure noise-abatement procedure that requires a 50-degree turn. For greater detail please check the NOTAM s for CYNJ or the Canada Flight Supplement .

Langley radio frequencies are 119.00 for the Control Tower , 124.50 for Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS), and 121.90 for ground service.

One of the main uses of the airport is the training of helicopter and fixed wing pilots. A lot of pilots carry out Circuit s as well as "fly the gates," which is when a pilot flies to different extremities of the airport's Control Zone to learn how to approach an airport from different directions.


NEWS

The airport's turf runway (07/25) is currently closed while new hangars are being built along the north edge of the airport property. The hangars are scheduled to be completed in 2007, and 07/25 is due to re-open at the end of May Or the bigining of June Aerodrome NOTAM file

HISTORY
