1. Definition and description

Article R. 211-1 of the French Civil Aviation Code defines an aerodrome as "any land or water area specially equipped for the landing, take-off and maneuvering of aircraft, including any ancillary facilities it may contain for the purposes of traffic and aircraft servicing".
