none of the customs airfields are like that so it is most unlikely you will
stumble
on such an airfield in error. Full details of all french airfields, complete
with plates are available on the SIA website (see the club website Flying
abroad section) so don't rely on some out of date French Pooleys equivalent!

for up to date info.

dangerous terrain, like the Alps. The occasional east europe country may
still require one for any flight but certainly not France or Germany. You will
find that most French and German airfields of any consequence will have computer
systems or phone in systems where it is easy , and quick so doing it as
you go along is straightforward.
