When were you last there?
You may notice the disappearance of the former cross-runway.
You could read my Blog entry, up-to-date as of Saturday

I am not sure which of these is still current as I have not been there for a little while -
Lille information has been NOTAMed unavailable for a while,
the ATIS is given in English and French so dont worry wait for the English bit of the recording,
the runway is easy to spot, running as it does parallel with the river,
when taxing watch the old railway lines on the taxi way - there is quite a dip and a risk of a prop strike I always think if your prop is close to the gorund,
appraoches are straight forward and I have never found any tendency to turbulence or shear on either approach,
bikes are readily available for rent but the hire car office is usually closed so book in advance if you need one.

Fully Flapped,
Are you flying from yourshire? if so where from? I have wanted to go to L2k as my first trip to france for ages and would love to know the ins and outs of your trip.
I fly from Sherburn at the moment so I guess I would be going from there.
Any insights would be gratefully recieved.

I am off there tomorrow (18th) with 12 microlights.
Someone posted up the telephone number for the airport, a while back, but I can't find it with the search. Anyone got it handy?
I have the ATIS number.

Thanks all, went yesterday, no probs at all. A touch of pretty impressive shear on very short finals to 32 was the biggest problem I had all day, so you can see I had it easy ! WX was good, as was lunch - lovely trip!
Yorks PPL, get in touch and I'll give you a shout with details of the route etc. It's easily "doable" from Sherburn.

A superb day.
Tailwind there with 40 mile viz, great lunch, slept it off on the beach, got sunburnt in the cloudless skies, tailwind back.
About as good as a day's flying gets.
