I've been flying in France over the last week and I was looking at the charts which cover the whole country at 1M. I noticed that the CIs are surrounded by a huge Class A from SFC to FL115 (iirc). I wondered how you go about flying there VFR, or for that matter transitioning through this area if you were flying say to Brittany. Do you get SVFR? Or what? I know people often fly there so I guess it must be possible...?

SVFR is the way to go!

A quick Google comes up with http://www.atsx91.dsl.pipex.com/Documents/visitingpilotsjersey.pdf and http://www.atsx91.dsl.pipex.com/Documents/4Y316%20-%20Recommended%20VFR%20Route.pdf.

As an aside, does anyone know why I can't post links in any format other than those above? :confused:

Engine overtemp, the way to present a link with different text to click is to write the text first, highlight it, and then click on the link button in the reply view.
That way you get (e.g.) a Visiting Pilot's Guide to Jersey link like this (http://www.atsx91.dsl.pipex.com/Documents/visitingpilotsjersey.pdf), which is constructed like this:

The site you linked to is mine, so thanks very much, although the Guides are produced by the Jersey Flying Club and the CAA respectively - I chose to host them as direct links often change, especially on the CAA site!
