Located at 325 ft elevation, the airport offers two asphalted runways capable of handling a variety of aircraft types. Its strategic position in the Île-de-France region makes it a key regional aviation facility.

Flying Conditions

Weather statistics indicate predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 64.3% of observations supporting visual flight rules. Pilots can expect stable weather, with an average temperature of 9.1°C and visibility consistently around 10 statute miles. Seasonal variations exist, with September, October, and January offering the most reliable VFR conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features two parallel runways (05/23 and 12/30), both approximately 5,400 ft long, providing flexibility for different wind conditions. Prevailing winds from the south (180°) average 8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 31 knots. The surrounding terrain of Vexin region offers relatively consistent wind patterns with low occurrence of calm conditions (2.5%).
