Runway 06L/24R at Lester B. Pearson International Airport (CYYZ) in Toronto is a 9,697 ft, lighted, asphalt runway oriented 047°/227°. The runway is 200 ft wide. SkyMeter has observed 922 landings and 1,249 departures on this runway over the last 30 days, with approximately 0.0% of arrivals resulting in a go-around. Trace data shows an average final-approach slope of 1.4°, touchdowns averaging 296 ft past the threshold, a typical touchdown ground speed of 137 kt, a 8.1 kt average crosswind component, a 5.1 kt average headwind.

922 landings observed on Runway 06L in the last 30 days, alongside 1,249 departures.
Busiest landing window observed at 23:00 with 23 arrivals on the recent sample.
Aircraft touch down on average 296 ft from the threshold on Runway 06L.
Over the past 365 days, winds at CYYZ have prevailed from the west-southwest (240°), accounting for roughly 12% of windy observations. Average wind speed sits at 9.0 kt with peak gusts to 43 kt. Strong-wind days are infrequent here.
Average crosswind on landing is 8.1 kt at touchdown — measured against runway 06L alignment.
Final-approach slope averages 1.4° on Runway 06L — shallower than the standard 3°.
The metrics below are computed from ADS-B trace data observed at Runway 06L over the last 30 days. Each value is shown only when at least 10 valid samples were available; sparse cells are hidden rather than estimated.
Recent observed landings on Runway 06L grouped by hour-of-day (UTC).
Aircraft approach runways using different procedures based on weather conditions, visibility, and available navigation equipment. An Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach provides precision horizontal and vertical guidance using ground-based radio signals, enabling aircraft to land in low visibility conditions. Visual approaches require pilots to maintain visual contact with the runway and surrounding terrain, typically used during clear weather. Area Navigation (RNAV) approaches use GPS technology to guide aircraft along specific flight paths.
Category (CAT) classifications define minimum visibility and decision height requirements for instrument approaches. Higher categories enable operations in lower visibility conditions.
Wind conditions directly impact runway operations, influencing approach difficulty, landing performance, and runway selection. Runway 06L benefits from favorable wind alignment, with prevailing winds creating minimal crosswind components for most operations. Average wind speeds of 12 knots pose no operational constraints for commercial aircraft.
Wind patterns show typical diurnal variation with stronger winds during midday hours.
