Manitoulin East Municipal Airport (CYEM) is a small municipal aerodrome on Manitoulin Island, Ontario, sited beside Highway 6 between Sheguiandah and Manitowaning. It offers a single paved, lit runway and uncontrolled airspace, making it a straightforward VFR destination for pilots visiting the island.
Manitoulin East Municipal Airport is a municipally operated general aviation aerodrome serving Manitoulin Island, Ontario. It has a single hard-surfaced, lit runway and no instrument approaches, and operates as an uncontrolled aerodrome with an aerodrome traffic frequency rather than a staffed control tower, making it a modest but useful stop for VFR traffic visiting the island.
The airport lies in uncontrolled airspace on Manitoulin Island, between the communities of Sheguiandah and Manitowaning, and is reached along Highway 6. Toronto Centre provides area radar/enroute service in the surrounding airspace.
The airport has one physical runway, 02/20, measuring 3,485 feet with a hard surface and runway lighting.
Aircraft operate on the ATF/UNICOM frequency of 122.8 MHz. Toronto Centre can be contacted on 135.4 MHz for enroute services. Runway lighting is pilot-activated via an ARCAL system on 123.2 MHz. There is no ILS at the field.
There is no published control tower or formal circuit procedure beyond standard uncontrolled-aerodrome practice on the 122.8 MHz ATF; pilots should make position reports on this frequency and activate runway lighting on 123.2 MHz as required.
The airport is easily identified from the air by its position directly alongside Highway 6, roughly midway between the communities of Sheguiandah and Manitowaning on Manitoulin Island.
The airport supports general aviation traffic to Manitoulin Island, with a paved runway equipped with runway lighting, PAPI and REILs. Aviation fuels available include Avgas 100LL and Jet A-1, and the field offers aircraft parking and hangar rentals, with year-round access. The airport's industrial park area has land available for further aviation-related development.
