About Verdun-Le Rozelier Airfield

Overview

Verdun-Le Rozelier Airfield is a medium-sized airport located in Sommedieue, France, serving the Meuse department in the northeastern part of the country. Situated at an elevation of 1,230 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides aviation services to the Verdun region, which has significant historical importance from World War I. The airport's infrastructure supports general aviation and potentially local military or training operations.

Flying Conditions

Located at a moderate elevation of 1,230 ft MSL, Verdun-Le Rozelier experiences typical northeastern French continental climate conditions with potential seasonal variations in temperature and precipitation. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations along the 10/28 runway axis, which runs approximately east-west. The asphalted runway's length of 3,675 feet provides adequate landing and takeoff capabilities for most medium-sized aircraft.

Notable Features

The airport is positioned in a region characterized by rolling terrain typical of northeastern France, with potential local topographical variations that could influence wind patterns and approach dynamics. Its single runway (10/28) offers a standard orientation that allows for flexible operations based on prevailing wind conditions. The airport's geographic location near Verdun suggests potential proximity to complex airspace structures associated with military and civilian aviation zones.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28, measuring 3,675 feet in length and constructed of asphalt, provides pilots with a standard east-west oriented landing surface. Approach planning should account for the airport's 1,230 ft MSL elevation and potential local terrain influences. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during pre-flight planning, paying particular attention to potential crosswind components given the runway's orientation.
