16th June 2011 Update

 

The current situation with Permit factory-builts flying in France is that the CAA has been as good as its word and progressed the necessary paperwork to enable the French/British agreement of free passage to be enacted. Unfortunately the DGAC has yet to confirm that its bureaucratic process has been finalised; until it has, we have to continue to pay 50 euros and seeking permission. Rest assured we are doing our best to chivvy things along so that we get the blanket permission in place at the earliest opportunity.

 

 

Application Process

 

In order to obtain an individual permit to fly in France, members need to send to DGAC at the following email address: lp-aviationgenerale@aviation-civile.gouv.fr, or by fax (+33.1.58.09.43.47)

- Completed DGAC Form LP6
- Copy of the CAA-UK permit to fly
- Copy of the LAA certificate of validity
- Proof of payment of the 50€ civil aviation fee

(this payment can be done directly on their website)

If you have any questions regarding these document, please contact them directly at the same email address: lp-aviationgenerale@aviation-civile.gouv.fr
