Located in south/west of France, Auch-Lamothe airport is about 39Nm (72Km), head on 280 ° from my favourite airport (LFCL). Auch-Lamothe is in the heart of the Gers department, a country renowned for her beauty and quality of life. managing 20000 flights a years, with a 1500 m paved runway fitted for night flight as well as a 800 m grass runway.In real fly, this airport can give some small difficulties indeed it's important to know that this ground is shaped with a NORTH / SOUTH orientation wich is PERPENDICULAR to the main winds, and that being situated at the bottom of a valley, the wind in height is often invisible. It is not so rare that the wind-sock is hanging, while there is 10 to 15 knots of cross-wind at 100 feet. Runway run off are relatively frequent for this reason. Caution in particular during Autan's wind (east wind) situations on the Toulousian plain. So, do not hesitate to set cross-wind with your favourite FS to know those stress sensations which stimulate blood circulation!...By Patrick Castay.
