Thanks for your report...
The restricted area auto message should have been recorded in english too. (it's compulsory) sorry!
I'll try to recored my ATIS a bit slowlier...but we have a fixed time to record it, so if there are a lot of informations to record, we have to speak faster..
I agree with JJflyer, if english is compulsory we'll lose a lot of our VFR pilots . But it's sure that being able to understand all the pilots messages would be far better....
I don't know if english level is better in French ATC now, but we have a lot of training, english teachers always reachable in ACC and some Aproach centers, we can go to UK to improve our level.
I think the French administration is doing good ...so it's our part of the job now!
We'll try to welcome you as well as we can (even you Forget! your username seems to be well chosen!)
