About Rochefort-Saint-Agnant (BA 721) Airport

Rochefort-Saint-Agnant (BA 721) Airport is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the FR AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Rochefort-Saint-Agnant Airport (LFDN) is a medium-sized airport located in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of western France. Situated near the commune of Saint-Agnant, the airport serves the Rochefort area with an elevation of 60 feet above mean sea level, providing critical aviation infrastructure for the region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's moderate elevation and coastal location suggest potential for variable wind conditions typical of maritime environments. Pilots should anticipate potential marine layer formations and wind shifts, particularly during seasonal transitional periods.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (12/30) with a substantial length of 7,480 feet, constructed with an asphalt surface. Its geographic coordinates at 45.887798, -0.983056 indicate a location in relatively flat terrain, which should provide straightforward approach and departure conditions for most aircraft.

Approach Considerations

The runway's orientation of 12/30 suggests potential utility for both northeasterly and southwesterly wind approaches. Pilots should conduct standard wind assessment and utilize the full runway length when planning arrivals and departures, taking advantage of the airport's generous 7,480-foot asphalt surface.
