About Granville Airport

Overview

Granville Airport (LFRF) is a medium-sized airport located in Bréville-sur-Mer, within the Manche department of Normandy, France. Situated at an elevation of 45 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves the coastal region near Granville. Its strategic location provides access to the northwestern French maritime landscape.

Flying Conditions

Being a coastal airport, Granville experiences maritime weather influences that can create variable conditions for pilots. The airport's low elevation at 45 ft MSL suggests minimal terrain-related turbulence, but proximity to the English Channel can introduce rapid weather shifts. Pilots should anticipate potential marine layer formations and wind variations typical of coastal environments.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (06/24) with an asphaltic surface measuring 3,150 feet in length. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios, particularly given the coastal geographic setting. The relatively moderate runway length accommodates smaller aircraft and supports regional aviation operations in the Normandy region.

Approach Considerations

Runway 06/24's orientation indicates that prevailing winds will significantly influence approach and landing strategies. Pilots should prepare for potential crosswind conditions and be prepared to adjust their landing technique accordingly. The airport's coastal location may require heightened awareness of wind shear and localized meteorological phenomena during approach.
