Civil Airfield Mimizan (LFCZ)

Mimizan (LFCZ) offers a long asphalt runway with straightforward approaches and is known for its friendly, helpful aeroclub and management. English is spoken on the radio despite French-only procedures, and contacting the airfield in advance by phone or email is welcomed. The airfield is somewhat remote, but car rides to Mimizan Plage take about 20 minutes, with taxi fares to Mimizan around €30. The aeroclub provides drinks and café service, and a small restaurant operates on site. Camping on the airfield is possible, and hangar or outdoor parking is available; no parking or landing fees are typically charged. Fuel (Total) is available via the aeroclub with card or cash payment.

There is frequent parachute jumping activity, including late evenings, which can lead to taxiway closures; overflight should be avoided during jumps, and vertical maneuvers are advised only after jumpers have landed. Sand can be an issue for parked aircraft exposed to wind and weather. Flight plans must be closed with Bordeaux directly.
