Chipman Airport , is located north of
Chipman,
Alberta, Canada. It is also known as the "Chipman Gliderport".
The airport is owned and operated by the
Edmonton Soaring Club. The club, which was previously operating from the
Edmonton/Cooking Lake Airport, purchased the site in 1971, when other plans were being made for Cooking Lake by the
Government of Alberta.
Itinerant air traffic is welcome, and should use the aerodrome frequency of 123.4, and keep an eye out for glider traffic. The airport is not maintained in the winter, but is suitable for aircraft on skis when snow-covered. The airport is usually attended on weekends and designated flying weeks during the soaring season, which typically runs from mid-April through October.
Facilities available include a clubhouse with kitchen, bathrooms, and showers; a bunkhouse for overnight accommodation; cable tie-downs; and emergency fuel (100LL). Pilots should call ahead to see if the airport is attended: (780) 363-3860.
