Dean River Airport (YRD) is a small, remote gravel airstrip in the Kimsquit Valley of British Columbia, serving the sparsely populated country along the Dean River. With a single short runway and no published air traffic services, it is a field for the well-prepared backcountry VFR pilot rather than a routine cross-country stop.
Dean River Airport is a modest, remote airstrip situated in the Kimsquit Valley of British Columbia. It has no scheduled airline service and appears to function as a backcountry access strip rather than a community airport, making it of interest chiefly to sim pilots seeking an authentic remote-strip approach into rugged, sparsely settled terrain.
The airfield lies in the Kimsquit Valley in British Columbia, at coordinates 52.8242 N, 126.965 W. No specific airspace classification, controlling FIR detail, or nearby controlled airspace is given in the available material, so pilots should treat this as an uncontrolled remote strip and plan accordingly using current charts.
Dean River Airport has a single physical runway, 16/34, surfaced in dirt/gravel and measuring 2807 feet in length. There is no ILS or other instrument approach aid associated with the field.
No communications frequencies are published for Dean River Airport, and there is no known air-ground or ATC service associated with the field. There are no navaids or instrument approaches listed, so operations here are strictly VFR with self-announced or non-radio procedures as appropriate.
