Flight testing in the Alps

I know it is bad to cross post, but I really need to have some ideas for my flight testing in the Alps, see the Rotorhead's thread "Clear Area at 5500' for limited flight testing: central Alpine Europe".

I thought perhaps there might be some flight testing specialists who might not necessarily read the rotorhead forum, who might be able to help?

Any ideas would be very gratefully received.

I don't, but an obvious question - have you tried talking to anybody at Pilatus?

Maybe you want to ask Skyguide as well.

I know that you may get a block of airspace for flight testing in the military area. Similar to what they do in Toulouse for AB.

Good luck

Biz - REGA used to get clearance to do RW flight tests out of some of their bases in the Alps. I am going back ten years now though..
