Can anyone help?

I'm supposed to be flying to Sables d'Olonne airfield on Wednesday but can't get hold of a Delage. Transair are out and club copy's been nicked.

Anyone able to point me to somewhere on the internet for a copy of the plate or to help in any other way?

Go to Nav 2000 (http://www.nav2000.com) and type LFOO into the search facility (click on the 'i' in the circle) - should give you some info to start with which might prove sufficient

Try getting the Jeppessen VFR Plates.

They do trip packages for about £30. All French fields are there, just not updated.

Most Pilot Shops carry them.

Have a Good Trip.

If you weren't happy with the NAV2000 info then you could borrow my Jepp plates provided I had it back by Friday of this week. If you've got access to a photocopier however...............?

Depending where he lives, he could get them from a different shop. They are normally in stock.

He's flying Weds, so 2 days.

Another option is fly to Jersey, refuel VAT free & study their Jep plate.

Happy flying

PS DG my plate is 2000 but if you want I can fax it to you, Email me or PM, unfortunately offer can only stand for today as doing exams next week.

Thanks for all your responses. It makes you realise how great pprune is when you see the generosity of the other posters.

I managed to track down a Bottlang and copied that. Had a really good trip and didn't want to come back!
