european tour
people of pprune.
in april, i am planning to do a tour of europe in a light aircraft. my planned route is uk-belgium-holland-germany-czech-austria-italy-switzerland-france and then back to blighty, possibly taking in denmark a bit of sweden and spain. however, my furthest jaunt abroad has been to ostend, hardly much experience. i was wondering if anyone had any stories or helpful hints for undertaking this journey? do i need to make my last departure and arrival airport a customs airport when crossing countries boundaries? is it fairly straight forward to fly between countries? does anybody have any suggestions for airports/cities that they have visited and found helpful and accomodating (or any too avoid)? are the vfr requirements the same in europe as uk? how much notice should i give before departure? what do you do if nobody at a destination speaks english? in fact, any advice, however small will be appreciated.
yours,
confused of london....
