Winnipeg/St. Andrews Airport (CYAV) lies just northwest of Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada, and serves as a busy general aviation and flying-club base with three hard-surfaced, lit runways. Its varied runway orientations and mandatory-frequency operating environment make it a useful and interesting destination for VFR pilots working out of the Winnipeg area.
