Clarenville Airport (CCZ3)
Identifier CCZ3, as tagged on OpenStreetMap (node/1042024505).
Whether it is open today, in what condition, with fuel or lights, is the Canada Flight Supplement's and the NOTAMs' to say — never this page's. The flying guide links NAV CANADA's products; nothing here substitutes for the briefing.

Tags are what a mapper last wrote, not a status. "Not tagged" is the common case on this island — a pilot who has landed here can fix it in five minutes on the open map, and this page changes at the next build.

Times are OSRM's over the open map on 2026-09-06, unverified by a drive of our own — unlike the measured routes on this site, which were.
Drive it with your own nav:Organic Maps →OsmAnd →Apple →Google →Waze →The first two run on OpenStreetMap and don't track you — the same map this site is built from.
Arriving without a car
Not measured. The query for taxi ranks, bus stops and rental desks near this strip was refused on 2026-09-15 and has not been re-run, so this page says nothing rather than reporting an absence nobody checked.
Measured routes that pass it
- YQX → Cape Bonavista →passes within a kilometre
- YQX → Trinity (Trinity Bay) →passes within a kilometre
- YQX → Fortune →10.8 km from the line at its nearest

Great-circle arithmetic from the mapped coordinates — a straight line, not a route, and not a promise either end is open. The full matrix is on the flying guide.
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, licence-free radio mesh across the island's strips exists the day the first strip hosts a node — the ask, and what a mesh is not. Beside, never instead of, VHF, the ELT and NAV CANADA's products; it does nothing for a flight.
