Operational Considerations

Laval-Entrammes Airport's 330-foot field elevation keeps density altitude effects manageable. Even on warm days, density altitude here tops out around 2,130 feet — within normal performance parameters for most aircraft. The 5,453-foot runway provides approximately 5,399 feet of effective sea-level performance.

Four distinct seasons define operations at Laval-Entrammes Airport. Winter brings icing potential, snow-covered surfaces, and reduced daylight hours. De-icing capability is valuable from November through March. Spring and fall transitions produce the most variable weather — warm fronts, cold fronts, and rapid ceiling changes. Summer typically delivers the best VFR conditions but introduces convective risk during afternoon heating. Preflight weather assessment should include both surface observations and area forecasts at this latitude.
