I'm planning to use the VFR route, approaching from the North, on my way to Caen. Are Southampton likely to give me a zone transit through their overhead, or should I plan to skirt round the East to Gosport?
Also, I see you're not permitted to fly at FL105, so does the whole crossing South have to be done at FL85, or would it be sensible to stay at FL100 until GARMI, when French rules presumably come into effect?
