Reader's Question—Microlight moving to France

John Harris (G-MJVX) writes:

Hi

I recently saw an article in LOOP regarding flying in France which you replied to,   I hold a PPL (D) and have done so for about 15 years.  I will be moving to France in the near future and would like to fly my own aircraft there which is a Phantom Micro light. 3 axis.

It is fully permitted and insured.

Question: What do I have to do, if anything, to continue to fly my aircraft in France?.

Any help or information would be most appreciated.  I would be flying from a private field with the owner's consent.

Hi John

I regret that I am not an expert on Micro lights.
I am a PPL Instructor and ground and flight examiner.
There are some British people running a microlight school near Poitiers, I am sure that they will be able to help you.
Their web site address is: www.wanafly.co.uk
The person to contact is Dave Lord.
Please advise me if you have an answer which may help other microlight pilot's in a similar situation.
