Really? I thought much of France's lower airspace was class G airspace
(just like it is around here - it's class G up to FL245). I don't think
I've filed a flight plan in well over a year. I suspect for most rural
living French people the situation is the same.




Correct. I'm not quite sure what Dan intended by "there s no VFR flight" , but
in a technical sense this is untrue. VFR is quite common and easily undertaken
in France. Since very few non-commercial pilots are IR rated, this is
fortunate. Most fly VFR, without a flight plan, up to FL115, where it becomes
Class D, and in practical terms, off-limits to VFR.
