About Figari Sud-Corse Airport
Overview
Figari Sud-Corse Airport serves the southern Corsica region as a medium-sized airport located at 41.500599, 9.097780 with an elevation of 85 feet MSL. The airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the island, featuring a single runway (05/23) measuring 8,136 feet with an asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations reveal predominantly VFR conditions 77.7% of the time, with MVFR conditions occurring 19% of flights. The prevailing wind originates from the northeast at 45 degrees, averaging 9 knots with occasional gusts up to 33 knots. September, October, and November demonstrate the most consistent VFR flying weather, with temperatures ranging from -3°C to 33°C and an average of 14.9°C.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway 05/23 experiences highly favorable wind conditions, with wind alignment at 100% and an average crosswind of only 3.9 knots. Visibility is consistently strong, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal instances of reduced visibility (fog occurs in only 0.5% of observations). The low occurrence of IFR (3.1%) and LIFR (0.2%) conditions suggests generally stable meteorological environments.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23 offers consistent wind-aligned approaches, with northeast winds providing predictable landing conditions. Pilots should anticipate stable visual conditions and plan for mild crosswind components. The broad runway and consistent weather patterns make this airport relatively straightforward for instrument-rated and visual flight pilots alike.
