Default The need for original documents, N-reg aircraft?

Finally the most important document of all is the VAT paid freedom to
circulate certificate. Without this, the French will try and impose VAT on
the plane and stop you flying it away until paid.


Yes, but I wasn't going to mention that one in a mostly American
newsgroup

The certificate of free circulation is the one document which I do
carry in original, very carefully protected, on the advice of an
experienced Customs man. Specially for the French

I fly an N reg and we have a wallet in the plane with all the documents
needed. For Germany you might also need a noise certificate but that
depends
on the age of the plane.


Might. Not sure about that one, for a casual visit. They might just
charge higher landing fees. I did pay extra in Switzerland.


That is the option, a higher landing fee
