About La Baule-Escoublac Airport

Overview

La Baule-Escoublac Airport serves the coastal region of western France, located near the Atlantic Ocean in the Loire-Atlantique department. Situated at an elevation of 105 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the La Baule-Escoublac area. The airport's single runway (11/29) extends 3,117 feet and is surfaced with asphalt, supporting various general aviation and regional aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal location suggests potential for variable wind conditions and marine-influenced weather patterns. Pilots should anticipate potential sea breezes and associated wind shifts, particularly during seasonal transitions. The relatively low elevation and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean may result in frequent moisture and visibility challenges, especially during autumn and winter months.

Notable Features

La Baule-Escoublac Airport is positioned at coordinates 47.289398, -2.346390, within a coastal landscape that may present terrain considerations for approaching and departing aircraft. The surrounding geography includes maritime influences that can impact local meteorological conditions. Pilots should be prepared for potential rapid weather changes typical of coastal aviation environments.

Approach Considerations

The airport's single runway (11/29) provides directional options for landing and takeoff based on prevailing winds. Given the runway's orientation, pilots should conduct standard wind assessment procedures to determine the most appropriate approach direction. Standard instrument approach practices should be followed, with particular attention to potential marine-layer developments and wind variability.
