About Dinard Pleurtuit Saint-Malo airport

Overview

Dinard Pleurtuit Saint-Malo airport serves the Brittany region of northwestern France, located near the historic coastal cities of Dinard, Saint-Malo, and Pleurtuit. As a medium-sized airport situated at 219 feet mean sea level, it provides general aviation and regional connectivity for this maritime area.

Flying Conditions

Weather observations indicate highly variable conditions, with visual flight rules (VFR) occurring 36% of the time and marginal VFR another 30.6%. Pilots should anticipate significant weather variability, with temperatures ranging from -2°C to 27°C and a prevailing southerly wind at an average of 9.5 knots. Fog occurs in 6.6% of observations, with September, December, and October presenting the most favorable VFR conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalted runways: 12/30 at 4,708 feet and 17/35 at 7,218 feet, providing flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions. Its coastal location near the English Channel suggests potential for rapid weather changes and wind shear, particularly during seasonal transitions. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 7.4 and 5 knots respectively.

Approach Considerations

With consistent southerly winds averaging 9.5 knots, pilots should be prepared for predictable wind patterns during approach and departure. The longer runway 17/35 offers more landing flexibility, while the comprehensive wind data suggests minimal wind-related operational restrictions. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, providing generally good visual conditions for navigation.
