Sherbrooke Airport (CYSC) serves the city of Sherbrooke in Quebec's Eastern Townships, offering a single long hard-surfaced runway capable of handling business jets, turboprops and general aviation traffic. It is a mandatory-frequency aerodrome with an on-site aviation school, charter operations and support services, making it a useful stop or training base for VFR pilots in the region.
Sherbrooke Airport lies just outside the city of Sherbrooke in Quebec's Eastern Townships and is operated by the Corporation de Développement de l'Aéroport de Sherbrooke. It is a mandatory-frequency (MF) aerodrome with a single substantial hard-surfaced runway, and it supports an aviation school, charter flying, medical and adapted transportation flights, and occasional military exercises, giving it a mixed character of training field and light business-aviation gateway.
The airport sits near the city of Sherbrooke in the Eastern Townships region of southern Quebec. It operates as a mandatory-frequency (MF) aerodrome, meaning pilots must establish two-way radio contact before entering the area, and traffic in the vicinity is worked on the published MF/ATF frequency rather than by a control tower.
Sherbrooke has one physical runway, 13/31, a hard-surfaced strip 5,893 feet long and lit for night operations. There is no ILS approach at the field.
Traffic at CYSC is worked on the mandatory frequency 123.5 MHz, which also serves as the ATF/UNICOM frequency. An automated weather observing system (AWOS) is available on 126.25 MHz, and Montreal Centre can be reached on 132.55 MHz for en-route or transit purposes.
As a mandatory-frequency aerodrome, pilots are required to make contact on 123.5 MHz before entering the Sherbrooke MF area and to follow standard radio calls for joining, circuit and departure; no specific circuit altitude or noise-abatement procedure is detailed in the available information.
Sherbrooke Airport supports an aviation school, a restaurant, aircraft parking for around 70 spaces, and rented hangar space, along with weather data services and aircraft refuelling and cleaning support. The field handles charter flights for business, leisure and tourism traffic, as well as medical and adapted transportation flights, and it has hosted military exercises; a shelter for the local Quad Club is also based there. The airport is operated by the Corporation de Développement de l'Aéroport de Sherbrooke, with published hours of operation from 12:00 to 24:00 UTC from May to September and 12:00 to 22:00 UTC from October to April; landing fees apply to jet and turboprop aircraft of 3,500 kg or greater.
