Montreal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (CYUL) is Quebec's principal international gateway, sitting at Dorval in the western part of Montréal. It presents the simulator pilot with a full-scale multi-runway jet airport, complete with parallel ILS-equipped runways and a busy mix of airline, cargo and general aviation traffic.
Montreal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, identified by the ICAO code CYUL and IATA code YUL, is the main international airport serving Montréal, Quebec. Long known as Dorval Airport before being renamed in honour of the former Canadian prime minister, it remains a major hub airport and offers the flight simulation pilot a realistic large-scale international environment with parallel long runways, full ILS coverage and dense airline traffic patterns.
The airport lies at Montréal, Quebec, Canada, at coordinates 45.4705, -73.7409, with a field elevation of 102 feet above mean sea level.
CYUL has three physical runways. Runway 06L/24R is 10,989 feet long, hard-surfaced, lit and equipped with ILS. Runway 06R/24L is 9,593 feet long, hard-surfaced, lit and also equipped with ILS. Runway 10/28 is 6,975 feet long, hard-surfaced and lit, without an instrument landing system.
Montreal Clearance Delivery operates on 125.6 MHz, Montreal Ground on 121.9 MHz, Montreal Tower on 119.9 MHz, and Montreal Apron on 122.075 MHz. Montreal Terminal handles arrivals on 118.9 MHz and 126.9 MHz and departures on 118.9 MHz, with a VFR advisory frequency on 134.15 MHz. The ATIS is broadcast in French on 127.5 MHz and in English on 133.7 MHz. Quebec Radio provides remote communications outlet coverage on 123.55 MHz. Two of the three runways, 06L/24R and 06R/24L, are equipped with ILS approaches.
The airport was originally known as Dorval Airport, reflecting its location in the Montréal suburb of Dorval, before being renamed Montreal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport in honour of the former Canadian prime minister.
CYUL continues to operate as a large international airport handling scheduled airline services, making it a significant customs entry point for flights arriving from outside Canada. Its parallel long runways and full instrument landing system coverage on two of its three runways make it well suited to sustained airline and general aviation operations within the simulator.
