Transponder?

[glowworm]

Hello,
I am wondering with a friend if there is a way for a channel crossing UK--> FRANCE and back without being equipped with a transponder. Thanks.

There is no restriction on flying from the UK to France and back without a transponder provided you stay outside Class D airspace on the French side. If you want to visit an airfield within Class D you may be able to get PP or you could just turn up an you will probably get away with it (not the way I would go).

Thanks for the reply..what I thought but just wanted to make sure as I can not find any reference to transponder in the French VFR Guide.
