It's been a few years since I've flown to France but am hoping to do so this weekend - weather permitting. I will route via Jersey and then plan to tour around Normandy and Picardy.

I see there is a series of wide diameter TMAs activated by NOTAM (e.g. LFOP and LFOB) which take effect from sea level. Presumably transit through these TMAs is simply a matter of calling up the controlling ATC authority and making an appropriate request? Is there any reason I might be refused a transit? Interested also to understand the underlying reason why these have been activated.

Thanks, BE
