Reader's Question—mountain flyer wanted

Charles Flint writes:

Sue, I fly a Husky from North Wales and I would like to get to the European Mountain Pilots fly-in at Corlier on 10/11 May.

I have done a few hours in the Alps—and in New Zealand—but do not have a mountain qualification, nor the authorisation de site for Corlier—or any other altiport !

I have 200 hours on the Husky and fly off a 300 m hill strip but have not yet had the opportunity to get the mountain rating—I am thinking of trying to get to Megeve in September.

Question—do you happen to know of anyone—with the rating—who would like to fly with me from Bourg en Bresse into Corlier that weekend ??

I appreciate Limoges is not close, but I hope you do not mind this speculative enquiry.

Great site and very useful—keep it up !

Best wishes

Hello Charles,

Sue told me about your request to get help from someone to reach Corlier "by the rules" during the EMP meeting in May.

Unfortunately I'm not going to this event.

I could have helped you as I'm a Flight Instructor and have the "Qualification Montagne" which is required for Corlier (actually a site rating will be enough for you).

I suggest you contact an EMP board member and explain your need.

I'm quite sure that they will be able to find a fully qualified pilot to get there and probably an "Instructeur Montagne" in Corlier to give you the appropriate training and rating for this site.

Sue
I have been promised the name of an instructor from Borug or Oyonnax - so I hope I am sorted on that one.
Many thanks.
Charles
