Need some help flying in Italy and France.
Hi PPRuNe guys,
For this summer I am planning a VFR trip around Europe. While planning im bouncing some problems, maybe some italians/france can help me?
Im flying a Cessna 172. I am planning to fly LJLJ - LIPV, I need to cross the Aviano CTR to do that. The chart show some VFR routes but they are starting from another position. The VFR corridor C is excellent for me but its a ULM VFR routing at low level, am I allowed to enter this and can I fly higher? Is Aviano approach easy going in this?
Next step is a good location to do a refuell in France in the region of Lyon?
Thank you in advance and excuse me if I post in the wrong forum.
Have a good weekend.

Aviano - depending when you go and depending when the proposed changes to the Italian airspace come into force, you may not have a problem there anymore, as the entire NE Italian airspace has been redesigned - MUCH better for VFR flight ! Again, I don't know when these changes will be implemented, probably too late for you (Sep/Oct).
Fuel in Lyon area - you could go to LFMH Saint Etienne. I refuelled there once some years ago and the pump is near the aeroclub building. What I cannot remember is how I paid, probably EUR cash if memory serves. There is, AFAIK, also an automated 100LL dispenser but you need a Total card for that one. The guys in the aeroclub are very nice and helpful, perhaps give them a call (there's a link to them on the LFMH website).
