The latest from France (FFA representative) received today:

Pending, more and more uncertain, from a press release from the DGAC, what we all expected from our Authority or the Ministry of Transport, in order to remove any ambiguity on "can we or no, fly solo, assisted dual control (for recovery flights) or instruction ”, I suggest you, given the complexity of the many texts and therefore the readings that may be different, to take stock at this time (depending factual information known to me).

Since the end of the confinement taken by Decree n ° 2020-548 allowing the possibilities of displacement and rendering obsolete the measures taken previously, with, it goes without saying, preponderant value concerning the flights on the initial press release from the DGAC, at the beginning of crisis.

IF SANITARY MEASURES TAKEN WITHIN OUR CLUBS (premises, ground and management of protections and barrier gestures in cases where social distancing cannot be guaranteed during thefts) ,

NO PROHIBITION CONTINUES CONCERNING THE USE OF OUR PLANES but within the limit of one hundred km, flight plan is no longer compulsory, usual rules of the air.

At the same time, the Ministry of Sports, which also manages our activity, released on 11/05 / current the "Guide to supporting the resumption of activities" (in attachment).

In it is specified for the period from May 11 to June 2 ;
  • Resumption of single-seat activity and
  • Resumption of sports training (aerobatics, precision piloting and air rally) with trips of less than 100 km;
AND

For the instruction, compliance with the principles and recommendations of the DGAC (our only line ministry for this training activity).

Conclusion:

FOR PILOTS, ONLY ONE PERSON ON BOARD (no other pilot pilots or friends, etc.) (Ministry of Sports);
  • FOR INSTRUCTORS, NO CHANGES, WE CAN ACCOMPANY A PILOT FOR RECOVERY OR INSTRUCTION FLIGHTS (Ministry of Transport - DGAC no ban therefore published as part of the privileges of an FI or FE).
However, it would have been good for our two departments to consult and communicate jointly in order to avoid all of the uncertainty and tension that this created.

And anyway, I want to pay tribute to the FFA and the ANPI for the considerable work they do to maintain and develop our activities and our defense.
