IFR and VFR operations are both available, with ILS and GNSS approaches. IFR approaches require ATC or AFIS; it is not possible to fly IFR approaches without them, so check ATC/AFIS hours. Handling is mandatory only for aircraft above 3 tonnes. Customs is available with prior notice; advise airport operations, who will arrange it and confirm receipt. The customs contact email is operations@ango... and bsi-poitiers@douane.finances.gouv.fr.
Landing fees for aircraft under 2 tonnes have ranged from about €5 to €30, with a noted increase to about €30 for a single in recent years. Example: landing and one night parking under 2 tonnes about €20.
AVGAS is available via Air BP self-serve pump, which accepts BP cards; Jet A1 is also available, but self-serve status may vary. The fuel pumps are located near the aeroclub, some distance from the tower and fee payment area; bicycles may be available to borrow for transit between these points, or a lift can sometimes be arranged. No UL91 fuel.
A small café or restaurant operates at lunchtime during the week, offering simple meals. Refreshments and a briefing room are available in the GA terminal area. The city of Angoulême is accessible by taxi for about €20; hotel options are limited and average in quality. Friendly staff provide helpful service, including advance emails with parking details, access codes, and airport maps. Occasionally, local pilots offer lifts into town.
The airfield is generally quiet outside of scheduled airline flights and flight school activity during core hours. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
