Pilot Information
Visiting Pilots to CEH2
- When overflying, please avoid the CYA 263(S) Advisory Airspace when operations are underway. The possibly many, small, difficult to see sailplanes will have erratic flight patterns. Please attempt to contact us on radio frequency 123.4 MHz to determine if we are operating.
- CEH2 is not a Prior Permission Required (PPR) airfield, however due to the nature of our operation, (if possible/practical) please call the club phone at (587) 328-0747 and select the appropriate option to report an arrival. This allows our club to expect inbound traffic, and plan accordingly. Always greatly appreciated!
- Powered aircraft are welcome to utilize the Cu Nim airfield at their own risk. The runways are grass and have irregular surfaces, with badgers making large holes in inopportune locations (backfilled by Cu Nim club members on a regular basis during the flying season). Please contact us at 123.4 MHz well in advance of landing. No winter maintenance.

Our Passion for XC Soaring is Results Oriented
Soaring pilots have unique opportunities as members of Cu Nim. Our passion for cross-country soaring and pilot development are paying off! Members join a supportive group of mentors and colleagues, and have unmatched opportunities to explore Canada’s most diverse soaring terrain!
Cross-country performance at Cu Nim continues to evolve – where we fly, who is flying, and with a growing interest in members in the sporting aspect of gliding. Recent season successes were assisted by long-distance winter wave flying that had been previously restricted by a snow-covered airfield; CEH2 is now being cleared by a pioneering member, who is starting the bring other pilots in separate gliders with him.
2024 and 2025 were good years for XC participation with some high scoring wave flights and exceptional participation from members. 2024 brought us hosting to the Canadian Nationals, but didn’t get good soaring weather to make use of the time off. In 2024 and 2025 many of our members had success in soaring competitions in the US, unfortunately those points scored don’t improve the club rankings among our domestic peers. In 2023, for our 2nd consecutive year, Cu Nim earned the Soaring Association of Canada’s ‘Roden Trophy’ for the best use of club resources in developing a soaring culture measured by FAI badge legs against club size. We’re optimistic that we’ll have a chance of earning this recognition for a 3-rd time in 2027. Increasing the number of pilots participating in WeGlide remains a priority for the club!
As a club, we support XC development with an innovative program pioneered at Cu Nim, called the ‘Proving Grounds‘ with defined triangles that build on themselves to introduce the challenge and ease of XC soaring to novice pilots in a safe and uniform context.
As an organization, we feel confident about our development path to create and support safe and exciting XC flying – more pilots, more km, more exploration!
Fly with us – further, faster, for more fun!
