About Hudson Bay Airport
Hudson Bay Airport is an airport with the ICAO code CYHB and the IATA code YHB. Country: Canada. Nearest settlement listed in the database: Hudson Bay. OurAirports classifies it as a small airport. Its ICAO code starts with the CY prefix, which marks airports in Canada. The four-letter code CYHB is used in flight operations and weather reports, while the three-letter IATA code YHB is used for ticketing and baggage handling. The airport reference point sits at 52°49'00"N, 102°18'40"W, at an elevation of 1,175 ft (358 m) above sea level. The applicable time zone is America/Regina.

Runways of CYHB
| Threshold | Course | Length | Width | Surface |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 06 | 60° | 1,524 m (5,000 ft) | 30 m (100 ft) | asphalt |
| 24 | 240° |
The course is derived from the runway designator (number × 10), not from a survey - the actual magnetic bearing can differ by a few degrees.
Declared distances (TORA, TODA, ASDA, LDA) are published in the national AIP - they are not part of this table.
Runway headings and wind
The thresholds are oriented as follows: 06/24 on 60° and 240° magnetic. A threshold designator is its magnetic heading divided by ten (ICAO Annex 14), so the runway axis can be read straight off the numbers.
For the 06/24 axis, wind from the south-east (around 150°) or from the north-west (around 330°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 60° or 240° acts along the runway, as a headwind or a tailwind. The decoder on this page computes those components automatically from the current METAR.
METAR and TAF for CYHB
Weather reports for Hudson Bay Airport are published under the ICAO code CYHB. A METAR is an observation of current conditions, usually issued every 30 or 60 minutes; a TAF is a forecast for the airport area, typically covering 9 to 30 hours.
The decoder breaks the CYHB report down into its parts: wind direction and speed including gusts and variability, visibility (including CAVOK and directional minimum visibility), weather phenomena by WMO code, cloud layers with their bases, temperature and dew point, QNH pressure, and the resulting flight category - VFR, MVFR, IFR or LIFR - using FAA thresholds.
Not every airport issues its own reports; many smaller airfields have no weather station. If no current data is available for CYHB, check the nearby airports listed below.
Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The America/Regina zone stays at GMT-06:00 year-round, so converting to local time is always the same shift.
The closest airports in the database, measured in a straight line from the reference point, are Swan River Airport (CZJN, 106 km), Nipawin Airport (CYBU, 127 km), The Pas Airport (CYQD, 152 km). When no report is available for CYHB, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
