St. John's (Paddys Pond) Water Aerodrome
No identifier is tagged on OpenStreetMap (node/1042024424); the map carries a name and a position, nothing more.
For status, fuel and lights, check the Canada Flight Supplement and NOTAMs. The flying guide links NAV CANADA's products; this page is no substitute for a briefing.

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.
