Located near the city of Rodez, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and serves both commercial and general aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Rodez–Aveyron exhibit significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing 48.9% of the time. Pilots should anticipate potential instrument meteorological conditions, as IFR and LIFR conditions combine for approximately 34.2% of observations. The airport experiences prevailing southeast winds at an average of 8.3 knots, with temperature ranges spanning from -13°C to 30°C.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway 13/31 is 6,693 feet long with an asphalt surface, providing substantial landing capacity for regional aircraft. Its elevated terrain at 1,910 feet MSL requires careful performance calculations, particularly during temperature extremes. The statistical wind data indicates a highly favorable wind alignment, with runway 13/31 aligned favorably 100% of the time and an average crosswind of only 3.3 knots.

Approach Considerations

Optimal VFR flying conditions occur during October, January, and September, offering the most consistent weather patterns. Pilots should be prepared for potential fog events, which occur in 14.1% of observations, and be aware of wind speeds that can occasionally reach up to 30 knots. The southeast prevailing winds suggest runway 13 will typically be the preferred approach direction.
