Plessé ULM

The specific reason for the closure is not publicly documented. However, for small, private ULM (Ultralight/Microlight) airfields like this one, closure is typically due to private reasons such as the owner's retirement, sale of the land for agricultural or development purposes, or economic non-viability. There is no indication of it being related to a major accident or military conversion.

The site of the former airfield has been returned to agricultural use. Satellite imagery of the coordinates (47.52591, -1.841293) shows the land is now a field, likely used for pasture or hay. The faint outline of the former north-south grass runway is still visible from the air, but it is overgrown and no longer maintained as an airstrip. The associated buildings appear to be in use as part of a private farm.

Plessé ULM was a private airfield with limited historical significance on a national level. Its importance was primarily local, serving the recreational aviation community.

- **Official Designation**: Its official French national identifier was LF4427. The code FR-0336 was an unofficial identifier used in some non-governmental databases.
- **Creation**: The airfield was established on June 10, 1997.
- **Operations**: It exclusively handled ULM (Ultralight/Microlight) aircraft for private, recreational flying. The facility consisted of a single grass runway (approximately 330 meters long, oriented 18/36) and likely a small hangar or private storage. It served as a base for local aviation enthusiasts and was not used for commercial or scheduled flights.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Plessé ULM airfield. As the land has been fully reintegrated into agricultural use for several years and the official permit has been withdrawn, reopening would be a complex and costly process requiring a new land owner to seek new permissions from the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC) and local authorities. The likelihood of this happening is considered extremely low.
