The use of french only at small airfields throughout france has become widespread. For the french only speaker it is of great benefit at their local airfield. In many cases the airfields exist only for the benefit of the commune as a place of recreation. Most of these airfields do not charge landing fees or they are minimal. They have the right to make reasonable conditions of use, to enhance safety, as they see fit. For the occasional non french speaker visitor it only requires a little effort to comply.
