Comments for France

The present airport situated in the South of Nantes is going to move soon to the North of Nantes, between Rennes and Nantes.

It is intended to become the main airport of the West of France.

It is likely that much of the traffic now going through CDG Paris will go through this new airport in a few years.

Next to A65 and the Adour river, easy to find. Long surfaced RWY.

Marked as closed - thanks.

Updated - thank you.

Thank you. Here's what the Wikipedia article says about LFJL: "It opened to the public on October 28, 1991 and replaced Nancy-Essey and Metz-Frescaty airports."

I'd love to know the locations of the closed airports - we include those in OurAirports, too, with a red "X" icon.

Merci de votre avis. J'ai changé le fréquence A/D. Qu'est-ce que c'est un "arrivée hub"? J'en ai jamais entendu, mais je ne connais pas bien la términologie française.

Metz/Fresaty is closed.......

Hi, please correct IATA-Code for Basel. It should be BSL not BAS.

Good morning,

Dans la page des fréquences attribuées, il semble que l'A/D (approach) soit 136.075 Mhz et que 120.225 correspond au guidage radar lors des arrivées HUB (n'est pas ouvert constamment, seulement lors des arrivées hub).

Changed. Thank you very much for the update.

Thank you for the update. It's always sad when an NDB is decommissioned. I've removed it from the database.

NDB CGO 344 kHz was deleted Feb 2011

Pls change Runway-Idents from 16/34 to 15/33 (since several years changed!)

Great work!

Due to the heavy foc over the Seine I had to abort my flight with the Mistral PH-2R8 from Lelystad (EHLE) in the Netherlands to Pont sur Yonne (LFGO) and had to land on La Ferté Gaucher.

I was welcomed very friendly bij people of the local "club ULM" and offered all the help I need (hangerspace, fuel).

There was a nice hotel and restaurant at the airport, so I had a good night sleep and reached my destination the next morning.

During 2012 year, we hope to have both re opening of the fuel station (with credit cards, 100LL, JET and 95UL) and the restaurant.

My second solo cross-country flight was LFIH to LFBH. An interesting view taking of over the sea !

A rural airport with all kind of friendly pilots. Here I started my pilot's career with my instructor Edmond Fradon. I started on Cessna 150, and flew also their Cessna 172, and Jodel D-112 (built in the club). Everyone is an amateur, no aviation professionals .From Chalais I flew with 3 friends to the north of Holland, Texel Airport. My greatest experience in aviation !

Routing via DVL back to UK on Friday 30th Sept 11 this beacon wasn't working however, can't find any Notam regarding temp u/s ? With feq 110.20 had an increasing distance rather than decrease when approaching. The indent wasn't clear and maybe was TST (test)

Villa Roquette Guest House - 18 minutes from Beziers, free pick-up and drop-off shuttle service - King-Size beds, Pool - Table d'Hote - very attractive rates

Please update the VOR-DME frequency. It is now 116.1 MHZ

Best regards

Mermoz used to take off here in the early days of French aviation. Today construction of appartements with only the old hangars remaining. Lasbordes NE is open for traffic.

Hi, I would like to visit the airbase in August, if a visit onsite is not possible, are there places on the outside where I could see the active and non active aircraft

A very nice grass runway in the heart of the Burgundy vineyards. At the East extremity of the runways there is a fabulous Hotel in an old Castle : La Berchere (***). The access to this private field is submited to authorization! Check their website...

Reply to @pimderhoodes: Are you crazy? Eating at McDonald's??? This is Burgundy, FRANCE! Go eat real food to any restaurant!

I don't see any aircraft at this "airport". Or marked runways, grass or tarmac for that matter.

French Navy was left this airport in 2011

Assembly point for Airbus

Marseille is the airport where Air France 8969 hijacking ended....

Bergerac was 'fogged in', this was our alternate. Big field but very quite. Twr spoke English and was very helpful. Landing fee less than 4 Euros. Friendly aero club made a coffee for us!

Rented acft from Sue Virr from the Aero club de Limoges. http://www.nearlyheaven.com/.

Friendly field, very helpful tower, only the odd delay to account for inbound IFR traffic (Ryanair etc) otherwise a great base for touring.

Small field on UNICOM 123.50 so French calls here the norm (although we made ours in English). Landing fees are a 'donation' into the piggy bank in the flying club reception. Great little restaurant round the corner (20m) L'Escale Guillaumet.

Great location, easy nav and comms, arrived from the North (Limoges) and bought in via the published VRPs.

Landing fees less than 4 Euros!! I'm moving to France. Easy access to the apron via the Aeroclub de Bergerac so no faffing with security etc. Good cafe/restaurant, coffee good.

very good facility,love flying to paris ,very simple clear and easy not french but lol

A mandatory training procedure was put in place at Cannes ( LFMD). Feb_2010

Please visit the website http://www.cannes.aeroport.fr/index.html and register.

Cannes is very noise sensitive and you might be checked after landing if you have done the briefing!

I've added the link.

ignore the TAXI number in the pilot planning facility and use

TAXIS ABEILLE service 01 39 50 50 00. This worked ok in April 2010 and cost about 18euro into Versailles

perfect in the middle, stop for helicopters or plains, of France. Great people friendly and you can eat at the Mc Donalds 10 minutes walk.

Good landingfee 14 i'll guess and normal fuel prices.

Campanile hotel 10 minutes away for sleeping and very nice food. The airport is not always open so call first. Nice people good prices like 14 for landing and normal fuelprices. Custom is kind of keen on N tailnumbers.

Had the pleasure to make a landing at Vitry LFQS recently, with a Cessna 172.

Two remarks/tips :

1. LFQS equipped with two grass strips of 900mtrs each. In my (expired) GPS database were the coordinates of the former Darois airport with concrete runway. So please be aware location differs somewhat. Of interest because nearby CTRs.

2. If you are in for lunch and airport looks all quiet : no sweat. Just walk out the gate to the main road, turn left and after only 200meters or so you will find a **** star restaurant called Air Accueil.

Very nice, with good service and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended.

There is public transportation. A city bus (stop at a 10 mn walk) with regular schedule rides to Versailles, and from there Paris, by train.
