General Information
The airport has an asphalt and turf runway, both of which are 2,100 ft (640 m) long. These relatively short runways make it a good airport for flight training purposes because a pilot who trains on short runways is likely to be a more capable pilot.[4] There is also a public road near each end of the paved runway (01/19) resulting in relatively short "Takeoff Distance Available" (TODA).
Due to the proximity of residential areas, runway 19 has a departure noise-abatement procedure that requires a 30-degree turn and runway 25 has a departure noise-abatement procedure that requires a 50-degree turn. For greater detail please check the NOTAMs for CYNJ or the Canada Flight Supplement.[5]
Langley radio frequencies are 119.00 for the control tower, 124.50 for Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS), and 121.90 for ground service.
One of the main uses of the airport is the training of helicopter and fixed wing pilots. Many pilots carry out circuits as well as "fly the gates," which is when a pilot flies to different extremities of the airport's Control Zone to learn how to approach an airport from different directions.
History
In 1945, at the end of World War II, the township of Langley leased the former Royal Canadian Air Force airport from the federal government before purchasing the airport outright in 1967 for $24,300. Since then, the airport has been in continuous operation.
