Whitehorse/Erik Nielsen Intl sits in Whitehorse, Yukon. Field elevation is 2,317 ft MSL. The airport has three asphalt runways. The longest is 13R/31L at 9,500 ft. Tower service is published for 1500-0500Z++. No ILS approaches are published, so plan with that in mind if the weather is marginal.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits at 60.70944444, -135.06722222. Magnetic variation is 25°. That matters when you are lining up the published runway headings.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts, so verify current fuel and handling options with the airport operator or the field directly before arrival. Published remarks also note that runway 01/19 has no winter maintenance. Taxiway G is uncontrolled. Fixed wing takeoff and landing on movement areas require prior permission. That is worth sorting out before you taxi. For a first-time visit, expect a higher-elevation northern field with winter planning issues and no published ILS backup.
