Pau - Pyrénées

1Terminal and civil ramps

From the terminal side, you can have some views of the civil ramp. The helicopter of the Sécurité Civile can be seen, provided that it is outside.

2East side approach and tree climb

Yes, that is correct. If you want to see something you have to find a high spot. There used to be a tree along one of the field tracks off D289 suitable for this (probably at the Chemin de l'Ayguelongue). You will have to take the D289 Route de Lescar southbound along the perimeter for that. Also, the approach crosses the D289, so if you move a bit north the aircraft will pass quite closely.

3West side approach

From spot 2, continue south, the road will now be Route de l'Aviation. After passing the highway, take the first exit on the roundabout onto D509. At the next roundabout, make a right again, taking the first exit onto the D945. Follow this, and cross the highway again. Continue until you reach the hamlet of Beyrie-en-Béarn and go right on the D208. This is called the Route du Lac and leads to the Lac d'Uzein. About 1.5km after turning into D208, there is a cross road, make a right here at Chemin de Navailles and go left on a track 100 metres down the road. This should take you into the approach of runway 13. Alternatively, stay on D208 and park along this road a bit north of the cross roads.
From spot 1, it is better to go counter-clockwise. Follow the D716 to Uzein and go left before you reach the centre of the village, this will be the D208 Route de Lac.
