Meteo
& notams... |

Olivia
is a website developed by the DGAC (Direction Générale de
l'Aviation Civile). It provides an on-line support for meteorological
information, notams and flight plan.
Meteorological information is provided to Olivia
by Meteo France. You need the same personnal code than for all Meteo France
services such as Aeroweb.
Such a code can be obtained free of charge, after sending a copy of your
licence with your address to Meteo France, by e-mail (serv-code@meteo.fr)
or by fax (+33 561 078 079).
Note : Olivia exists
in both french and english versions.

charts, but also many other items dealing with regulations (e.g. about

| The
best website... |
|
NAV2000
is considered as the best website in France for the preparation of navigations,
even if it is not "offical"... It provides the same information
than the here above websites (the single restriction is that FPL can
be edited but can not be sent). Furthermore, it provides pieces of the
famous "VFR France" chart developed by Jean Bossy. Given as
an example : North
of France...

Current
restrictions in North of France for VFR flights... |
|
|
Since a few months, services usually provided to VFR flights in North
of France are reduced. First, FIS is currently not provided inside Lille
1 and Lille 2 areas ; the unique frequency for both areas (134.825) is
out of service. Moreover, during the week-end, the BRIA (Bureau Régional
de l'Information à Aéronautique) is sometimes closed...
A specialized phone number is then useful to know : 0810 IFR VFR (0810
437 837), which runs H24 and allows to close the flight plans.
