What is the A/C type, how many hours do you have..?
Although, ICAO requires all member states to use English over the radio as the preferred option, the French appear to think somewhat differently – Why shouldn’t they, after all it is there country!! Therefore, if you are unfamiliar with the French language, I would suggest you speak in English only, however, I would recommend making radio contact more frequent then normal as to make others aware of your presence. Try and learn ‘Key’ French words which you can use only in the event of an emergency. You will have a fabulous time.
