Lachute Airport (CSE4) is a small uncontrolled general aviation aerodrome serving the town of Lachute in southwestern Quebec, a short distance north-west of Montreal. It offers a single hard-surfaced runway pair with pilot-controlled lighting, making it a straightforward VFR destination for training and private flying in the region.
Lachute Airport is a small general aviation aerodrome situated at Lachute in southwestern Quebec, within reach of the Montreal terminal area. It is the kind of uncomplicated, uncontrolled field that suits circuit training, touring flights and private aircraft operations, with a single runway offering lit hard-surfaced pavement in both directions.
The airport lies at Lachute, Quebec, at coordinates 45.6396 N, 74.3704 W, and sits within the wider Montreal terminal airspace environment. Traffic in the vicinity may be advised by Montreal Terminal on 124.65 MHz (approach/departure) or 132.85 MHz (departure), reflecting the airport's position under or near Montreal's controlled airspace structure, though the aerodrome itself operates as an uncontrolled field.
Lachute has one physical runway, 10/28, with a hard surface and runway lighting on both ends. Runway 28 is the longer of the two, at 3755 feet, while runway 10 is 3079 feet; the field elevation is 213 feet above sea level. There is no ILS available at the airport.
Pilots should monitor the aerodrome traffic frequency (ATF) and UNICOM on 123 MHz for self-announced traffic advisories. Montreal terminal control frequencies of 124.65 MHz (approach/departure) and 132.85 MHz (departure) serve the surrounding controlled airspace and may be used when transiting or receiving services from Montreal ATC in the area.
Lachute Airport continues to support general aviation activity, including private flying and flight training, from its base at Lachute. Prior permission may be required for some operations; pilots planning a visit should confirm current procedures before departure.
