Flying Conditions

Located at 50.618401, 2.642240, the airport experiences typical maritime climate conditions characteristic of northern France. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations and moisture-related weather patterns common to this coastal geographical region. The airport's relatively low elevation suggests minimal terrain-induced weather complexities.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (04/22) measuring 6,037 feet with an asphalt surface. Its geographic positioning near the French-Belgian border provides strategic aviation access to the northern European transportation network. The moderate runway length accommodates a range of aircraft categories from smaller general aviation to medium-sized regional aircraft.

Approach Considerations
