About Royan-Médis Airport

Overview

Royan-Médis Airport is a medium-sized airport located in southwestern France, situated near the coastal region of Charente-Maritime. Positioned at 45.628101, -0.972500 with an elevation of 72 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves the Royan and Médis area, providing essential aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and local flight operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's relatively low elevation of 72 feet MSL suggests a generally mild terrain environment with potential maritime influence from its proximity to the Atlantic coast. Pilots should anticipate potential coastal weather variations, including potential sea breezes and localized wind patterns that could impact approach and departure conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (10/28) with an asphaltic surface measuring 4,117 feet in length, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographic location near the western French coastline indicates potential terrain and wind considerations that pilots should assess during flight planning and navigation.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28's orientation suggests potential wind alignment from east-west directions. Pilots should carefully evaluate current meteorological conditions and perform standard terrain and approach assessments, paying particular attention to coastal wind dynamics that may influence landing and takeoff procedures.
