Functional Runway: It features a 630-meter hard surface runway (13/31). Pilots note the preferred landing on QFU 13 due to an upward slope, especially in light to moderate winds. There's also mention of a 500-meter flat section at the summit, offering flexible landing options.

No METAR Reports: The aerodrome does not publish a METAR (routine aviation weather report); the nearest weather station is Brive Souillac airport, 23 km away.
No Public Transportation/Specific Parking Information: While easily accessible by air for ULMs, there is no specific information regarding public transportation connections or dedicated car parking details.
