Owen Sound / Billy Bishop Regional Airport serves the town of Owen Sound on Ontario's Georgian Bay shoreline, offering a single hard-surfaced runway for general aviation traffic. Named for the town's famous First World War aviator, it is an uncontrolled field operating on a common traffic frequency beneath Toronto Centre's airspace.
Owen Sound / Billy Bishop Regional Airport lies on the outskirts of Owen Sound, Ontario, and takes its name from Billy Bishop, the aviator associated with the town. It is a modest regional field with a single runway, of interest to visiting VFR pilots exploring the Georgian Bay and Bruce Peninsula area.
The airfield sits near Owen Sound, Ontario, within the area worked by Toronto Centre, whose frequency is available for traffic and airspace information. There is no control tower at the field itself, and pilots operate under an aerodrome traffic frequency (ATF) arrangement typical of uncontrolled Canadian airports.
The airfield has a single physical runway, 18/36, surfaced in hard material (asphalt or similar), measuring 3,926 feet in length and equipped with runway lighting. There is no ILS approach available.
Pilots should monitor Toronto Centre on 132.575 MHz for the surrounding controlled airspace, and use 123.0 MHz as the aerodrome traffic frequency (ATF) and UNICOM for local calls at the field.
The airport carries the name of Billy Bishop, the flying figure associated with Owen Sound, reflected in its full title as Owen Sound / Billy Bishop Regional Airport.
The field remains an active general aviation airport with runway 18/36 available for light aircraft. It is an uncontrolled aerodrome, with traffic coordinated on the ATF/UNICOM frequency rather than through a tower.
