Arriving without a car

No airport authority lists ground transport for a strip this size, and within 3 km the open map shows no taxi stand, bus stop or rental desk. The map misses things: Gander's own authority lists a 24-hour taxi rank that the map does not hold. Arrange your ride before you fly in.

Flown, on the record

No pilot has sent a log that touches this strip. A GPS log from the panel or the tablet, both ends within 3 km of a mapped aerodrome, is the proof — how to send it.

Help build this page

  • Tag it. Surface, length, lighting and fuel are OpenStreetMap tags on the runway and the aerodrome; most strips here carry none.
  • Send the log of a leg flown into or out of it, and a photo of the approach or the apron under the licence sentence on the contribute page.
  • Host a community mesh node. An open, volunteer-run radio mesh across the island's strips starts with the first node. It sits beside VHF, the ELT and NAV CANADA's products, never instead of them: the ask.
