Civil Airfield Aubenas Ardeche Meridionale (LFHO)

LFHO is located in the Ardèche region and offers attractive scenery, with the airfield situated on a hill. No landing or parking fees are charged. Self-service Avgas is available 24/7 and can be paid by credit card. Example: landing and parking about €0. Taxi service can be arranged, with local numbers provided. Walking to Lanas is possible, and accommodation is available at Auberge du Vieux Lanas. A karting and quad track are adjacent to the airfield.

The airfield operates on an A/A frequency; English is possible, but French is required for landing on weekends. The tower remains unstaffed. There is significant parachute activity during weekends. The restaurant operates daily from 11:00. The runway and taxiways are in very good condition.

The airfield lies within restricted areas; coordination with Provence Info (132.3) is necessary for arrivals and departures, with clearances generally issued promptly. Strong Mistral winds can occur, requiring secure tie-downs for aircraft. For IFR pick-up, multiple frequency changes and full details may be required before clearance is granted.

A visit to local attractions such as the Chauvet Cave or kayaking on the Ardèche river is possible, and Aubenas town is accessible by taxi or on foot. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
