A quick ten-minute overview of the CAT4 - Qualicum Beach - airport.
This video covers some of the local attractions around the airport as well as local knowledge about informal position reporting points and local hazards.
The Qualicum Beach Airport CAT4 is located on the east coast of Vancouver Island near the town of Qualicum Beach.
It is a great fly-in destination and a relatively quick flight from many parts of Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland.
An excellent restaurant is located inside the terminal building.
The Qualicum Beach Flying Club shares a building with the local flying school Sealand Flight.
The runway has a length of 3564 feet, with the runways numbered 29 and 11 It's at an elevation of 190 feet above sea level
JET-A and 100 low-lead fuel are available on Apron 1, in front of the terminal building at separate pumps
Aircraft parking is available on Apron 1 and the grass tie down area near Apron 2.
On Apron 1 a limited number of short-term day use parking spots are available on the paved ramp area between the terminal building and the fuel pumps.
For longer term parking there are several parking spots available on the grass tie-down area.
There is no ATIS available at the Qualicum Beach Airport. You can check the aviation weather reports from Comox and Nanaimo and extrapolate between the two.
It is recommended that pilots descend to circuit altitude on the upwind side of the airport over the water by French Creek Marina, then cross the aerodrome at midfield before turning downwind.
This approach makes wind socks inspections easy.
Please refer to the Transport Canada publication VFR Circuit Procedures At Uncontrolled Aerodromes or other relevant documents for additional information
Skydive is also an important operator to listen for on the radio as they are often returning to the airport in a rapid descent from high altitudes. These descents often take place over the water in the area between French Creek Marina and Lasqueti Island
