French requirements for solo flight
I have flown at St. Auban three times. It is virtually the same as
flying in the USA.
Before you go to St. Auban you must get a French temporary license.
The St. Auban website give you the address and all the information you
need. But you should have already known this if you have paid your
deposit to St. Auban. So here is the information you need.
You need to submit a copy of:
1) your US pilot license
2) a copy of your class 3,2, or 1 medical certificate.
(the French accept all US medical certificates)
3) two recent identity photographs. Color or B&W do not matter.
(identity photographs are basically 1.5x1.5 inches
4) a copy of your passport, the page with your photo and date of birth
5) a written request for a "license equivalence"
(I will be flying at St. Auban from xxxx to xxxx)
6) specify the dates of your stay in France.
Mail it all to:
District Aeronautique de Provence
Service des Licenses
Aeroport No. 1
13727 MARIGNANE
Within a month you will receive your temporary French license in the
mail.
They show up at the registration building at St. Auban about 0900
hours with your logbook and credit card.
Have fun.
