About Péronne Saint-Quentin Airfield

Overview

Péronne Saint-Quentin Airfield (LFAG) is a medium airport located in the Somme department of northern France, specifically situated near Monchy-Lagache. The airfield serves the regional aviation needs of the Hauts-de-France region, providing critical infrastructure for general aviation and potential utility operations. Its strategic location offers access to the surrounding agricultural and rural landscape.

Flying Conditions

Located at an elevation of 295 feet mean sea level, the airfield experiences typical northern French climate conditions with potential variability in wind and visibility. The airport's single runway (09/27) measuring 4,560 feet in length and constructed of asphalt provides a substantial surface for aircraft operations. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal weather variations common to the region, including potential low visibility during autumn and winter months.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (09/27) is aligned to accommodate prevailing wind patterns in the region. The relatively flat terrain surrounding the airfield suggests minimal terrain-induced turbulence or significant geographic complications for approach and departure. Its medium classification indicates capabilities for supporting various aircraft types typical of general and regional aviation.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27's 4,560-foot asphalt surface offers flexibility for approach planning, with potential wind-based runway preference depending on current meteorological conditions. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and approach assessments, paying particular attention to local wind patterns and potential seasonal weather limitations. Standard visual and instrument approach protocols applicable to medium French regional airfields will be relevant for navigation.
