The club, in short
Since 1937 the BYAC has kept general aviation alive at Yvrac, ten minutes from Bordeaux.
Yvrac field, a rare place to learn to fly
A nonprofit association, the BYAC runs Yvrac field for its members and for anyone curious about flying — easygoing on the ground, exacting in the air.
A 686 m grass runway
Runway 11/29, in open countryside ten minutes from Bordeaux.
Two hangars
Home to the club fleet and to members' own airplanes
A renovated clubhouse
Rebuilt in 2013, with a picture window looking straight down the runway.
The people behind the club
The front desk is open to members and visitors on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9am to 1pm and 2pm to 5pm, on Tuesdays from 9am to 1pm, and on Thursdays from 11am to 1pm and 2pm to 7pm. A team of instructors runs the training, and an approved maintenance shop takes care of the whole fleet.
