Interestingly enough the FRENCH will be allowed to keep their regional licence
Yes, the MDM032 people have yielded to Les Grenouilles and their 'brevet de suicide'....
Not according to what I was reading in the March issue of "Info-Pilote" (the monthly magazin of the FFA, Fédération Française Aéronautique).
"it will most probably be [scrapped]"
But I guess the magazin is already a month old.
