Alberta airport problem reports

Airport was closed to public use in 2019

Now it’s privately owned by Paramount Resources

CFT9 has been closed.

WAYYYY off from the actual airport…

Sorry but I’m a man of absolute PERFECTION

So you don’t have to fix it if you don’t want to

The marker is not centred on the actual airport

Moved marker to runway.

Same fate as the last one, burned down in a fire along with the whole town, all residents were evacuated, everything in Fox Lake is gone

That's very sad about the fire. There is no NOTAM listing the landing surface as closed, but it is listed as restricted due to the fire. Presumably it is still available to frontline responders if needed?

Closed since 2016

Still listed in the Canada Flight Supplement as of 2023-06-04, and grass strip appears stll to be maintained in recent satellite imagery.

Burned down in a wildfire, burned down along with the whole town, fire still raging in area, I’ll update later when it opens again

Slightly odd name choice in use of \ not / in the name. Care to ask the airport if they'd like to switch the angle of their slash?

Why? Well somewhat comically, when used in C/C++ software, the compiler baulks at \O being an invalid 'escape sequence'.

It's easily fixed in software, by changing the \ to a \\ to make the slash 'literal'.

But just thought I'd mention, as this airport is the only one worldwide that has \ not /

name updated

There is a correct marker for Pearce (CA-0280) some distance east. This triangular field was RCAF Detachment Granum (for the nearby town) and was the #1 relief field for No. 7 Service Flying Training School at Fort Macleod.

Thanks for the update.

Airport is closed by NOTAM

Marked as closed.

The Helipad is closed temporarily until November 16th 2020

Since the closure is temporary, I'll leave its status as-is for now. If they're not able to reopen in November, we can change the status to "closed." Thanks for the report.

Helipad is closed by NOTAM

Marked as closed. Thanks for the report.

Closed

Thanks for the report. Marked as closed.

Still listed as open in the CFS (up to 10 September 2020), with a note that the surfaces are deteriorating.

It is located a little way away from this location

Moved to location for former airstrip.
