| Subject: | Crossing the Channel? |
Hello everybody,
Im new to the Europa and the forum. I hope to be heading to France in a few weeks
and was looking for some advice regarding an entry Airport. I will be crossing
around Lydd as that is where the channel in the narrowest. I need to gain
more confidence in the plane before going further over water.
Where would you suggest I clear customs/Immigration into France, bearing in mind
that I speak no French? Any advise would be most appreciated.

Glenn, Le Touquet is very well set up for first timers, especially if
you are not planning to go deep into France. The only minor drawback is
that they charge you 20 euros or some such - more like English A/Fs than
French standards. If you are going further into France then Troyes is a
good choice, with customs (on request) and UL91 on tap and an
interesting city to overnight in. I attach last year's Le Touquet
briefing sheet that was prepared for the annual Europa Club Fly out (due
May 21st this year), which is set up with Channel virgins in mind. Are
you in the Europa club? If not I strongly recommend it, also you will
find a wealth of relevant info & what I like to feel is the best
aviation weather page on the club site (www.theeuropaclub.org [5]). You
are welcome to give me a ring if you have specific queries - number on
club website & in club magazine (Europa Flyer).

Le Touquet is a good start, uk prices (expensive) not French prices but so m
any Brits fly there it is really setup for us. Bikes to hire or a walk into t
own which is very pleasant. English on the radio.
Have fun.

Glenn,
I ususaly go via Rochester where you can pick up UL91 fuel, file flight
plan, and route short crossing and down to LeTouquet where Avgas is
available and very helpful staff.
Went to Beauvais last time? dont go there ???
Came back via Caen direct to Sleap.
First time I suggest LeTouquet.
Need PLB

The Smart Ass can alert on undercarriage still up with a switch/sensor. Has anyone
installed one? Maybe a hall effect or reed switch on the swing arm or on the
retraction leaver I guess. I suppose a micro switch would be a bad idea as
it can get wet in the wheel well.

Graeme, I have a micro switch in the detent so that it only gets
activated when the wheel is down and locked. It is a waterproof
microswitch and has never given any problem.

Graeme,
I have had a micro switch on the outrigger mechanism for 16 years now with no problems.
They seem pretty well sealed. I have also linked it to the SmartAss since
I fitted that last year.
