French language proficiency for 'FR seulement' airports?
CEO of AOPA's column in this month's Flyer ran a story about how there is talk of a French Language proficiency exam that has to be taken before flying into French only airports.
He reports that at Marmande (which is a small airfield in the SW of France which is FR only) English pilots there using French on the radio apparently have been told that they need to have passed this proficiency exam in order to be legal.
Has anyone else come across this or could shed any light on whether this is true or not?
