Le Mans & Heli Surface permit
I was thinking about flying (instead of driving) down to Le Mann’s for the 24 race in a few weeks.
But as I understand it I need a heli surface permit to land off airfield.
I had a search for it on the internet and PPrune but the info is quite old.
Can I get an application form on line or do I still need to ring up and have it faxed to me?
Is this still the email address for them?
[email protected]
How much is the permit and how long does it last?
And finally how long did it take to come though?
Thanks chaps
Peter

PM me and I will e-mail you a blank one.
I have recently applied for one and received a quick response - regrettably to tell me that I had forgotten to date and sign it !!
- which I have now done.
A few weeks ago I want to the South of France without one and although all the places we landed, except one, were airfields I was told you will never get asked to produce it.
I am not encouraging you to take that as gospel, nor to travel without one, but there are other threads on here that will say you are unlikeley to ever need one.
There is no cost and they can be issued for up to 10 years I believe.

Le Mans
The Heli Surfaces Permit is beaurocracy gone crazy. You only need to check out the questions to realise this - plain daft.
Le Mans ( luv your spelling of it btw
) is a great destination. The museum on site is well worth a visit.

I'm looking into how practical it is to fly in to Le Mans 24hr next year. Can you land close to the circuit? A boy's trip, so happy to camp next to my machine. Is this possible and are the landing fees reasonable (i.e. not Silverstone rates)? If you have flown in here before, any advice would be much appreciated.
Talk to the friendly guys at Jet Systems - in-situ Chopper company.
They 'handled' us for the 7 days we were there last year and gave us the code for the side gate to the track entrance.
Don't think I'll be going this year......

The circuit borders the airfield. I'm hoping to fly down this year as the last two years I have been between helicopters each Le Mans weekend and had to drive. Never flown in before myself either.

Had the same issue a few months back. After a few calls we finally got the correct contact details. Even though I emailed the application they still required the hard copy to be posted for the permit to be issued. Took about 3 months for the permit to come back. Hope it helps.

Postal Address and contact to send hard copy:
