The airspace looks worse than it is. Weekdays, reckon on working Calais followed by Koksijde. Weekends, you are more likely to work Calais followed by Ostend, who give a passable impression of a RIS, even to VFR traffic.
Having done a bit of online research of the French AIP, Supps and NOTAMS etc I find that the Gravelines ZIT is smack bang on my planned track. Oh deep joy. Looks like I will have to dig out my trusty handheld GPS rather than just eyeball it down the coast as I would prefer.
Dunkerque is listed as 'Usage Restreint' so I have E mailed for confirmation that this has been dropped for the event.
Would I be drummed off the forum if I infringed something?
