a) You don't need to wait for a code, just wait 1 hour or more and activate
with someone like London Information when airbourne.
b) Yes
c) It would be best although there is still some debate
d) It is difficult to find an old style flight planning facility in France.
You can do it through AFPEX if you have access to a computer of a mobile
that is online, or you could do the same through the French OLIVIA site.
Also you could file your return flight plan before you leave the UK if you
know when you are returning (up to 5 days in advance now)
e) Yes you can, but you only need to give 4 hours notice to UK Customs
f) Yes.
No you do not need permission to land a permit plane.

Subject: Europa-List: Update on europe travel process required
So, 1st permit renew done (when paperwork arrives) now planning:
Its been a while since I crossed to France, can anyone confirm:
a) log flight plan with AFPEX, and wait for code
b) I can fly from a strip so long as I land at a French customs airfield
c) I need to take a PLB (GPS yellow hand held thing)
d) I presume I will be able to file a Flight plan from France for the return
the old way or is that AFPEX again?
e) I can fly direct to a strip in the UK so long as I give Customs 24 hour
notice an a time (used to be the case)
f) I guess I need to take a bunch of paperwork, radio licence, permit,
insurance etc
Do I need to get permission to land a LAA permit plane?
Thanks, in atticipation
