Chestermere (Kirkby Field) Airport (TC LID: CFX8) is a small private airstrip lying about two nautical miles east of the town of Chestermere, Alberta, just outside Calgary. It offers a pair of short unpaved runways and operates without air traffic control, making it a straightforward but characterful stop for VFR pilots exploring the Calgary area.
Chestermere (Kirkby Field) Airport, identified by the Transport Canada location identifier CFX8, is a small aerodrome situated close to the town of Chestermere in Alberta, Canada. It is a modest facility with two dirt runways and no instrument approaches, the kind of field that appeals to sim pilots looking for an authentic, low-key general aviation experience away from busier controlled airports.
The airfield lies approximately two nautical miles east of Chestermere, Alberta. It is an uncontrolled aerodrome, and pilots operating in the vicinity should expect to self-announce and coordinate with any other traffic in the area rather than relying on air traffic control.
Chestermere (Kirkby Field) has two physical runways, both with dirt surfaces. Runway 18/36 is the longer of the pair at 2,077 feet, while runway 08/26 is a shorter strip of 1,214 feet. Neither runway is equipped with an instrument landing system.
The aerodrome uses an Aerodrome Traffic Frequency (ATF) of 123.4 MHz. There is no air traffic control service at the field, so pilots should make their calls on this frequency to alert other traffic of their intentions and position.
