Flying Overseas Advice

France

Advice re flying in S France is available here. Please note that some DGAC regions may have a different, less stringent, local interpretation of the requirements described in the supplied information sheet. It is recommended that pilots check with the destination club beforehand. However, if the guidance is followed, then DGAC approval should be given.

NEW BUREAUCRACY FOR 2009 - following an incident in 2008 where a US Citizen forged US gliding qualifications, the Provence area DGAC requires governing body (eg BGA) verification of any pilot certification. If you need this verification to be carried out on your behalf, please email Beverley Russell at the BGA office.

Pleae also note that some clubs may manage the DGAC administration and payment for you. The BGA advice is to ask the club you intend to visit.
