Aérodrome d'Aynac ULM

The closure was initiated at the request of the airfield's operator. This indicates the decision was likely based on personal or private economic factors for the owner, rather than external pressures such as military conversion, safety incidents, or regulatory enforcement. For small private airfields (ULM bases), it is common for operations to cease when the owner decides to retire, sell the land, or no longer wishes to bear the cost and responsibility of maintenance.

The site of the former airfield has been completely returned to agricultural use. Satellite imagery shows the land at coordinates 44.796911, 1.836498 is now an open field, indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland and likely used for pasture or growing hay. The grass runway is no longer maintained or visible, and there are no remaining signs of aviation activity. The land appears to be part of the adjacent farm property.

Aérodrome d'Aynac ULM was a small, private airfield dedicated exclusively to the operation of ULM (Ultra-Léger Motorisé / Ultralight Motorized) aircraft. Its ICAO code, FR-0391, was a national identifier for VFR flight plans, not an official international ICAO code, highlighting its status as a minor, local facility. The airfield consisted of a single grass runway (approximately 400-500 meters long) and likely had minimal infrastructure, typical for a private ULM base. Its significance was purely local, providing a base for recreational pilots and ultralight enthusiasts in the Lot department of the Occitanie region. It did not handle any commercial, cargo, or scheduled passenger traffic.

There are no known plans, discussions, or prospects for reopening the Aérodrome d'Aynac ULM. Given that it was closed at the operator's request over a decade ago and the land has been fully repurposed for agriculture, the likelihood of it being re-established as an airfield is extremely low to non-existent.
