About Forestville Airport

Overview

Forestville Airport (CYFE) is a medium-sized airport located in Forestville, California, situated at an elevation of 293 feet above mean sea level. The airport serves the local aviation community with its primary runway 09/27, which offers a substantial 5,000-foot asphalt surface for aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Positioned at coordinates 48.746101, -69.097198, the airport experiences typical coastal California weather patterns with potential variability. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts given the runway's 09/27 orientation, which may require careful wind assessment during approach and landing.

Notable Features

The airport's moderate elevation of 293 feet suggests a relatively flat terrain surrounding the airfield. The 5,000-foot asphalt runway provides adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft, supporting a range of general aviation and potentially regional commercial operations.

Approach Considerations

With a runway aligned at 09/27, pilots should be prepared to adjust approach based on prevailing wind conditions. The substantial 5,000-foot runway length offers flexibility for different aircraft types, providing sufficient margin for safe landings and takeoffs under standard operating conditions.
