Pictures

Here is a photo of Norman Wells. The foreground shows a terminal building and garage, a parking ramp, and in the center is the Turbo Beaver for flights to Tulita, Deline, and other localities. A Dash-8 by First Air is just arriving.

Canadian North also stops here, with daily B737-200 flights from Yellowknife, and Borek Air makes stops all along the route from Fort Simpson to Inuvik.

Norman Wells features an NDB positioned for approaches to runway 27 (shown in the picture), and a VOR. There is no ATIS or AWOS. Destinations reachable from Norman Wells include: Fort Good Hope (north), Wrigley (south), Yellowknife (daily flights), Inuvik-Zubko, and of course Tulita and Deline.

Here, you can see the DHC-2 as it prepares an approach to CZFN Tulita (Ft Norman). The runway is gravel, but features VASI to help your visual approaches, and edge lighting for those night time arrivals.
