🇨🇦 Brussels (Armstrong Field) Airport

Brussels (Armstrong Field) Airport (CPD4) is a small, public-use airport located adjacent to the rural community of Brussels in Huron County, Ontario, Canada. It was established as a private grass strip in the mid-20th century for local agricultural and recreational flying purposes and was named "Armstrong Field" in honor of W.J. Armstrong, the early operator and landowner.

• Location: N43°45.00' / W81°14.00', at an elevation of 1100 feet MSL.
• Runways: The airport features two grass runways, suitable for small aircraft operations:
• 04/22: 2,500 x 70 feet (grass),
• 17/35: 1,700 x 120 feet (grass), with a 200-foot displaced threshold on Runway 35,
• Use: It primarily serves general aviation activities, including private and recreational flying, local training flights, and agricultural purposes like crop dusting. There is no scheduled commercial service.
• Operations: The airport operates under visual flight rules (VFR) exclusively during daylight hours, as it is unlit and lacks advanced navigational aids. Prior permission is required for all users, and pilots must report runway conditions directly to the operator, W.J. Armstrong (519-357-5588), especially given the grass surfaces which can be soft in wet conditions,. No winter maintenance is provided, limiting reliable operations to non-iced periods, typically from spring through fall.
