Overview
Phalsbourg-Bourscheid Air Base is a military airport located in northeastern France, situated in the Bourscheid region near the Alsace plains. The base serves as a strategic medium-sized airport with a significant 7,205-foot asphalt runway capable of supporting various military and potentially civilian aircraft operations. Its elevation at 1,017 feet above mean sea level provides a stable operational environment in the region.
Flying Conditions
The airport's location in northeastern France suggests variable weather conditions typical of continental European climates, with potential for significant seasonal temperature and wind variations. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind challenges on the 06/24 runway, given the airport's geographic positioning. The 1,017-foot elevation provides relatively moderate atmospheric conditions that are generally favorable for aviation operations.
Notable Features
Phalsbourg-Bourscheid Air Base is characterized by a single runway oriented at 06/24, offering a substantial 7,205-foot asphalt surface suitable for medium to large aircraft. The airport's coordinates at 48.766203, 7.200551 place it in a region with potentially complex terrain, suggesting pilots should be prepared for potential local wind and topographical interactions during approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
Approach considerations at Phalsbourg-Bourscheid should focus on the runway's 06/24 orientation, which may require specific wind-aware navigation strategies. The lengthy 7,205-foot runway provides substantial landing and takeoff margin, offering flexibility for various aircraft types. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments specific to the northeastern French landscape when planning arrivals and departures.
