Ulmodrome des Landes

The closure was initiated at the request of the airfield's private operator and owner, Jean-Claude Lherm. This indicates the closure was a private decision, likely due to personal reasons, retirement, or the cessation of the owner's aviation activities, rather than external factors like economic failure, accidents, or regulatory pressure.

The site is inactive for aviation purposes. Satellite imagery shows the grass runway is still clearly visible but is unmaintained and becoming overgrown. The hangar building remains on the property. The land appears to have reverted to private use, likely as part of the adjacent residential or agricultural property. There is no evidence of any ongoing aviation operations.

Ulmodrome des Landes was a private airfield dedicated exclusively to ultralight aircraft (ULM - Ultra Léger Motorisé). It was not a commercial airport and handled no scheduled flights or heavy aircraft. Its national designator, FR-0367 (also referenced as LF4626), identified it within the French system for small, private airfields. The airfield consisted of a single grass runway, approximately 450 meters long and 20 meters wide, with an orientation of roughly 02/20, along with a private hangar. Its significance was purely local, serving as a base for the owner and potentially other local recreational ULM pilots in the northern Lot department.

There are no known or published plans to reopen the Ulmodrome des Landes. Given that the closure was a private decision by the owner over a decade ago and the presence of the large, modern Brive–Souillac Airport (LFSL) just 7 km away, which accommodates general and light aviation, the reopening of this small, private ULM strip is considered highly unlikely.
