About Agen La Garenne airport
Overview
Agen La Garenne airport serves the Agen region in southwestern France, situated at an elevation of 204 feet above mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway (11/29) measuring 7,103 feet, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local area. The airport's geographic coordinates (44.174171, 0.593090) place it in a strategic location for regional transportation and general aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions 58.1% of the time, with moderate variability in weather patterns. Pilots can expect an average temperature of 10.6°C, with historical extremes ranging from -9°C to 32°C. Wind conditions are typically from the east (90°) at an average of 6 knots, with occasional gusts up to 22 knots. Fog occurs in 17.4% of observations, with September through November offering the most consistent VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (11/29) is asphalted and demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with 100% of wind conditions supporting runway operations. Crosswind components average just 1.8 knots, providing relatively comfortable landing and takeoff conditions. The surrounding terrain and elevation suggest a relatively stable approach environment with minimal significant geographical obstacles.
Approach Considerations
Given the prevailing easterly winds, runway 11/29 offers optimal wind alignment for most operations. Pilots should be prepared for potential reduced visibility during winter months, with MVFR and IFR conditions accounting for approximately 26.4% of observations. The consistent wind patterns and good average visibility (10 statute miles) generally support stable approach and departure procedures.
