Private FlyingThe forum for discussion and questions about any form of flying where you are doing it for the sheer pleasure of flight, rather than being paid!
Flying to Belgium, France and Germany later this year, but what is the latest position with flying VFR in these countries and do you need Mode S or is C still OK.
I believe Germany requires Mode S in controlled airspace that doesn't extend to ground level, irrespective of flight rules. So there's always the option of flying below it.
