About Valence-Chabeuil Airport
Overview
Valence-Chabeuil Airport serves the Drôme region in southeastern France, positioned at 525 ft elevation near the city of Chabeuil. The airport features three runways: one paved primary runway (6890ft) and two grass runways, providing flexible operational capabilities for various aircraft types. Its strategic location in the Rhône-Alpes region makes it an important medium-sized airport for regional aviation.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 76.4% of observations indicating good visual flying weather. The airport experiences a moderate climate with temperatures ranging from -6°C to 30°C and an average of 11.1°C. Wind patterns are consistently from the north at an average of 9.8 knots, with maximum gusts up to 32 knots and only 1.6% calm conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's multi-runway configuration allows for operational flexibility across different wind conditions. All three runways (01/19, 01L/19R, and 01R/19L) demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment and consistently low average crosswind speeds of 2.9 knots. The September through November period offers the most reliable VFR flying conditions, with minimal chances of low visibility or challenging weather.
Approach Considerations
With strong northern wind prevalence, approaches along the 01/19 axis will typically provide the most stable conditions. The paved primary runway (6890ft) offers the longest and most accommodating surface for most aircraft types. Pilots should anticipate generally excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with minimal fog occurrence (1.7% of observations) and rarely experiencing visibility below 3 miles.
