Drone Rules for Aéroport de Havre-St-Pierre (YGV)
Drone operations should avoid the runway environment and aircraft approach paths at Havre-Saint-Pierre Airport due to regular regional and remote-access flights.
Havre-Saint-Pierre Airport (CYGV) is a public regional airport located on the North Shore of Québec. It serves as a critical transportation hub for the Lower North Shore and nearby remote communities, with scheduled passenger flights, cargo operations, and medevac services.
The airport has a single asphalt runway (06/24) of approximately 4,500 feet and is frequently used by regional carriers and medical evacuation flights, especially in a region with limited road access.
Transport Canada regulations require drone pilots to remain well clear of aircraft operations and to avoid any activity that could interfere with takeoffs, landings, or approach paths. Given the essential nature of this airport for emergency and remote transportation, unexpected aircraft activity can occur at any time.
Drone operations within the aerodrome environment should therefore be considered incompatible with safe aviation activity unless proper authorization is obtained.
