The French need a noise certificate?
I am borrowing a friends 172 for my annual week touring France. His maintenance organisation has told him it will need a noise certificate to fly to france, and that it takes two weeks to get one. I have two weeks and two days before I go.
I have never come across this requirement before, can anybody tell me if it is required?
Thanks in advance,

No such certificate required. I suspect that mate's engineers are getting France confused with Germany, where the lack of a noise certificate will often cause a steep rise in your landing fees.

So whats the procedure for a G-reg aircraft, resident in the UK, to get a noise certificate suitable for use in Europe?
Does each aircraft have to be measured or does the manufacturer issue a 'Certificate of Quietness'

Based on the info provided, which may not be correct…
The CAA has a list of approved aircraft types. Your maintenance org states the aircraft is in accordance with the specification, you send the CAA £35 and about two weeks later you get a bit of paper.
