About Montluçon-Guéret Airport

Overview

Montluçon-Guéret Airport serves the Creuse department in central France, located in the commune of Lépaud. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 1,497 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the region's transportation and operational needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 1,497 feet MSL indicates potential for variable weather conditions typical of central France's inland terrain. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature and density altitude variations, especially during seasonal transitions, which can impact aircraft performance on the 6,234-foot asphalted runway.

Notable Features

Positioned at coordinates 46.222599, 2.363960, the airport is situated in a moderately elevated region with potential terrain considerations. The single runway (17/35) orientation suggests the airport is designed to accommodate prevailing wind patterns and provide flexible approach and departure options for various aircraft types.

Approach Considerations

The runway's substantial 6,234-foot length provides adequate operational flexibility for most medium-sized aircraft. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction relative to runway 17/35 during approach, considering the potential for crosswind conditions given the airport's geographic location in central France.
