About Beauvais Tillé airport

Overview

Beauvais Tillé airport serves the Hauts-de-France region, located approximately 85 kilometers north of Paris. As a medium-sized airport with three runways, it supports commercial, charter, and potentially military aviation operations. The airport sits at an elevation of 359 feet above mean sea level, situated in a relatively flat geographical area.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect variable weather conditions throughout the year, with visual flight rules (VFR) conditions occurring 41.9% of the time. The airport experiences a wide temperature range from -9°C to 31°C, with an average temperature of 8.8°C. Wind patterns are predominantly from the south at an average speed of 8.2 knots, with occasional gusts up to 31 knots and calm conditions 1.9% of the time.

Notable Features

The airport features two primary paved runways: 04/22 at 3,625 feet and 12/30 at 7,972 feet. A third runway (13R/31L) is noted but with unspecified characteristics. The airport's location offers relatively consistent wind conditions, with both primary runways showing 100% favorable wind alignments and modest average crosswind components of 4.5 to 5.7 knots.

Approach Considerations

September, October, and January offer the best visual flight conditions based on historical meteorological data. Pilots should anticipate minimal visibility restrictions, with an average visibility of 10 statute miles and fog present only 12.5% of the time. The substantial length of runway 12/30 provides flexibility for most aircraft types, and the consistent wind patterns allow for predictable approach and departure planning.
