Rouyn-Noranda Airport (CYUY) serves the town of Rouyn-Noranda in northwestern Quebec, offering a single long instrument runway equipped with ILS. It is a useful VFR and IFR waypoint for pilots operating in this part of the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, with radio advisory coverage rather than a control tower.
Rouyn-Noranda Airport, identified as CYUY, is a medium airport located at Rouyn-Noranda in western Quebec, Canada. It provides scheduled airline service to the community and is notable to simulator pilots for its single, generously long hard-surface runway fitted with an instrument landing system, making it a workable diversion or destination for both light and larger aircraft in the region.
The airport sits at an elevation of 978 feet in the Rouyn-Noranda area of Quebec. Traffic in the vicinity is coordinated through a mandatory frequency (MF) advisory service rather than a control tower, with overlying en-route control provided by Montreal Centre. Pilots transiting or operating in the area should expect to work with the local air-to-ground (A/G) station and remain alert for other traffic using the shared frequency, as is typical for uncontrolled Canadian aerodromes of this type.
The field has one physical runway, 08/26, measuring 7458 feet in length with a hard surface. It is lit for night operations, and runway 08 is served by an ILS approach, giving pilots a precision instrument option when approaching from that direction.
Rouyn-Noranda uses an air-to-ground (A/G) mandatory frequency (MF) of 122.2 MHz for local traffic advisories, which also serves as the remote radio outlet frequency for Quebec Radio (RDO 122.2 MHz). Montreal Centre provides area control on 125.9 MHz, and a further remote communications outlet for Quebec Radio is available on 126.7 MHz. An ILS is available for runway 08, supporting instrument approaches into the field.
Rouyn-Noranda Airport continues to handle scheduled airline traffic alongside general aviation movements, and avgas fuel is available on the field. Pilots planning a visit should confirm current operating arrangements and any prior permission requirements before flying in.
