About Saint-Yan Airport
Overview
Saint-Yan Airport is a medium-sized airport located in the Saône-et-Loire region of France, situated near L'Hôpital-le-Mercier. The airport sits at an elevation of 796 feet above mean sea level and features two concrete runways, with the primary runway 15L/33R extending 6,660 feet in length. Its strategic location provides important aviation infrastructure for the central French region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Saint-Yan demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) conditions prevalent 51.6% of the time. Temperature ranges from -10°C to 31°C, with an average of 8.3°C, presenting potential temperature-related performance considerations for aircraft. Wind patterns are predominantly from the south at an average of 5.6 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 28 knots and calm conditions occurring 6.6% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport offers two runways with consistent wind alignment, both showing 100% favorable wind coverage and an average crosswind of 3.3 knots. Visibility is generally excellent, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal instances of reduced visibility. Fog is present 14.5% of the time, which pilots should consider during flight planning, particularly during transition seasons.
Approach Considerations
Seasonal flying conditions indicate January, September, and October as the most favorable months for VFR operations. Both runways (15L/33R and 15R/33L) provide flexible approach options with similar wind characteristics. Pilots should be prepared for potential instrument meteorological conditions, as non-VFR conditions (MVFR, IFR, LIFR) collectively represent 48.3% of observed weather patterns.
