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."

What is a pogo flight?

sr

sarko presidential flight,or pogo flight!

it comes from Latin Pogos, which means in french "beau gosse".
hope this help!

Not sure of the exact definition, but it seems to be for flights within Paris TMA, such as Paris-CDG to Paris-Orly.

Any more precise definition?

According to me, this are departure from toussus le noble that are not any more possible because they were creating traffic problem.
I think they also have the same problems out of beauvais and pontoise.

Here is a french AIP Sup about POGO flights

Hi,

I think Pogo is a dance where in that one, you make small jumps.
In France we call that "saut de puce"

To be confirmed.

Cheers.

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)

pogo
 

:ok:I used to fly POGO's with the 727 /PO IS PARIS ORLY AND GO IS FOR DE gauLLE;

FLIGHTS FROM ORLY TO CDG AND REVERSE; :D

Merci beaucoup.

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.
