Troyes is highly reccommended. [...]Beware,
like many French A/Fs it closes at lunchtime.
Hi David and all,
Feeling compelled to jump in.
Would you care to elaborate about the above statement ?
As a French pilot, I am not aware of any French airfield
closing to VFR during daytime.
Or maybe you were just talking about ATC or AFIS published hours or
IFR arrivals, though that never prevents incoming or departing VFR
traffic ?
To sum it up, French airfields are accessible to VFR at any time
between SR-30 min and SS+30min.
One notice, though : at Troyes at no-AFIS hours, you must use French
only on the radio, like on most French airfields.
