About Quimper-Cornouaille Airport
Overview
Quimper-Cornouaille Airport serves the Cornouaille region in western Brittany, France, located near the city of Quimper. Situated at 297 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the surrounding coastal area. The airport features two asphalted runways capable of supporting various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Quimper-Cornouaille demonstrate significant variability, with VFR conditions prevailing 40.5% of the time. Pilots can expect challenging conditions during IFR (19%) and LIFR (9.9%) periods, particularly during transitional seasons. The prevailing southerly winds at an average of 9.2 knots, with occasional gusts up to 31 knots, require careful wind management during approaches and departures.
Notable Features
The airport's dual runway configuration (04/22 and 09/27) provides operational flexibility across different wind conditions. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 5.1 and 6.1 knots respectively. The airport's moderate elevation and coastal location suggest potential for rapid weather transitions and localized wind variations.
Approach Considerations
September, October, and December represent the most favorable VFR months for operations. Temperature ranges from -3°C to 22°C create diverse atmospheric conditions. With an average visibility of 10 statute miles and minimal fog occurrence (3.7%), pilots can generally expect good visual conditions. The runways' orientation suggests consistent wind management strategies will be beneficial for safe approaches.
