I should say St Francois is an AOE.
Spent the weekend listening to the CTAF, one gyro I could follow, the others all larded their radio with chit chat about where they were going to have lunch so far as I could figure. The French thing would not be a problem if it was standard position reports.
This airport has a significant maintenance firm, so weird that they did not consult them or even inform them once they made the decision.
All the fault of microlights it seems
