TERRAIN<br />
The airfield is 7nm S of the N coast in a narrow SE-NW valley 3nm across. The end of the valley is<br />
closed by terrain rising initially to 2,000ft asl. The hills on the N side of the valley rise to 1,200ft asl<br />
and those on the S side to almost 1,600ft asl. These hills have unlit power lines and masts. Highest<br />
point within 10nm is a 3,280ft asl mountain 7.5nm SW. mount Oiz topped by a mast gives an<br />
obstruction of 3,540ft asl only 2,5nm N of the RWY 30 extended C/L and 14nm from touchdown. A<br />
ridge with power cables runs across the approach to RWY 12 giving obstructions to 340ft asl 1nm<br />
from the threshold.<br />
There is also a ridge with obstructions across the approach to RWY 10 which reaches 372ft asl<br />
1.25nm from RWY 10 threshold. The city lies just S of the airfield. Shipbuilding and heavy industry on<br />
the river to the W and NW within 2nm.<br />
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL<br />
Local traffic controlled in Spanish. English is often poor, use standard R/T. Approaching from the N, if<br />
descent is made for a visual to RWY 12 do not confuse the first inlet but use the 'B' locater as a track<br />
guide. If using ILS RWY 30 consider carrying out the full procedure from overhead the airfield to avoid<br />
GPWS problems due to the ridge N of the C/L.<br />
At 6d on the VOR/DME approaches to RWYs 10 and 12 the aircraft will be passing close to high<br />
ground. See "Visual approaches 12/30" in the Airway Manual, which shows the terrain well.<br />
LONG DELAYS may occur when several aircraft are waiting to land.<br />
On departure take care to be on track before entering French airspace.<br />
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS<br />
RESTRICTED USE of RWYs AT NIGHT due to required visual reference. Visual circuits DAY ONLY are<br />
to the N of the airfield.<br />
