Europa-List: Re: International Fly-In, Gap-Tallard, France, June 9-10,

[JohnFrance <77alembert@gmail.com>]

Hello to all,
I would like to comment about French airfields with ATC services regarding radio
transmissions in English.
While I would agree that 10 years ago the level of English was poor, however 
they
have made a massive step forwards and I find all the controllers clear and
competent in English.
Why would you want to arrive when the tower is closed and use your French when
you can use English when it's open?
Regards,

John

hour)
lunch 'hour'; I can then blind-call in French and not be caught out by an
unusual ATC request!
