About Mâcon-Charnay Airfield

Overview

Mâcon-Charnay Airfield is a medium-sized airport located in the Saône-et-Loire department of eastern France, serving the Mâcon-Charnay urban area. Situated at an elevation of 728 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. Its single runway configuration supports general aviation and regional flight operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 728 ft MSL suggests a moderate terrain environment typical of the Saône valley region. Given its geographical location in east-central France, pilots can expect varied seasonal weather conditions, with potential wind variations along the 17/35 runway axis. The asphalted runway measuring 4,036 feet provides substantial landing and takeoff capability for most light and medium aircraft.

Notable Features

Mâcon-Charnay Airfield's single runway (17/35) offers a straightforward operational layout for pilots. The airport's coordinates at 46.295131, 4.795977 place it in a region characterized by gentle terrain and proximity to the Saône River valley. Its medium airport classification indicates capabilities for supporting diverse aviation activities beyond purely local traffic.

Approach Considerations

The runway's 17/35 orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. Pilots should prepare for potential wind shifts given the airport's geographical positioning in an area with potential valley-influenced air currents. Standard approach procedures should account for the 4,036-foot runway length and the airport's moderate elevation.
