Readers' Question - ULM Brevet in France

Trevor Sandy writes:

I have been looking at the website site and was wondering if you could help me,

I have owned a house in France for about 4 years, and moved here permanently in February this year. My UK NPPL Unrestricted Microlight 3 axis is current, I am fairly low hours less than 200 and aged 50yrs (UK home airfield was Compton Abbas Dorset).

I am located half way between Flers & Carpiquet in Normandy, I understand that my NPPL is useless for F registered club aircraft and that I will need to take ground exams and the French equivalent of a GST etc

The problem is that my French is still not good and it is difficult to communicate with non English speaking instructors who may prefer to work with French speaking students. I was just hoping you may be able to recommend or put me in touch with someone who could help, it’s my intention in time to have my own aircraft perhaps based at Flers or Falaise but whether it should be F or G registered I don’t know?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Regards
