About Abbeville-Buigny Baie de Somme Airfield

Overview

Abbeville-Buigny Baie de Somme Airfield serves the Hauts-de-France region in northern France, located near the coastal area of Buigny-Saint-Maclou. As a medium airport with an elevation of 220 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the surrounding maritime and agricultural landscape.

Flying Conditions

Situated at a relatively low elevation with coastal proximity, the airfield experiences maritime-influenced weather patterns typical of northern France. Pilots should anticipate potential variability in wind conditions, particularly given the airport's multiple runway configurations that provide wind adaptation options.

Notable Features

The airport offers three distinct runways: a 4,101-foot concrete runway (02/20), a 2,950-foot grass runway (02L/20R), and a shorter 1,880-foot grass runway (13/31). This diverse runway portfolio allows for flexible operations and accommodates different aircraft types and wind conditions.

Approach Considerations

Approach strategies should consider the primary concrete runway (02/20) as the primary operational surface, with grass runways providing alternative options. The airport's coordinate location at 50.143501, 1.831891 places it in a coastal region that may experience complex local wind patterns requiring careful preflight planning and wind assessment.
