what is a pogo flight?
Apologies for not posting in French but I'm afraid my efforts would be quite confusing.
I fly to CDG several times a month (sometimes several times a week) but am a puzzled about a NOTAM which regularly crops up. It refers to restrictions on "pogo flights."

it's for short flights in the paris tma.
cdg to ORY or LBG etc.
these pogos are actually a sid plus a star put end to end. in case of a go around and diversion to another parisian airfield this is the clearance you might get (but i think a radar vectoring might be a better bet)

The term is occasionally used colloquially in French to describe a short flight without cruise sector - ie SID and STAR are merged. I have never seen it defined anywhere in any official publication and so if this is what they are referring to here I am surprised that they are using such a term in a NOTAM.
