Just back from a most enjoyable Italian tour to find an email from the
Director of the relevant dept of ENAC (the Italian CAA) stating that Permit
aircraft need no special permission to fly in Italy. This follows a similar
confirmation from the Czech CAA that they also no,longer require special
permission.

Hi! David
You mean when we landed there on the first 6 nations we needn't have
suffered all that continental obstructional bullsh....t and charges?

Sounds too good to be true after that experience ?
What about the exorbitant charges?

Bob, The obstruction related to flying into Italy from a non EU country
(Switzerland) and of course it costs to have such expensive officials
sitting around all day waiting for someone to obstruct! David

Hello Bob,

Italy is great fun to fly. Look out for some Fly-In, e.g. by the Italian homebuilder organization "Federazione C.A.P." and (try to
- not always that easy, hard to believe, eh?) communicate with the local pilots. Find some links and information on
http://www.experimental.ch/content/view/101/23/ ...

For some a slight disadvantage - pure VFR (no comms...) requires you to stay below 1000 ft/GND always. Otherwise, just contact the
local radar - no problems for you anyway. Most military trained controllers - helpful and nice.

Then - avoid big commercial traffic airports in Italy. Plenty of alternate neat places - and some private fields to drop in. Other
places like Isola d'Elba, Ferrara, Firenze, or Siena are a must to see, regardless of some taxes to expect.

In case you intend to fly to/from Switzerland - do NOT clear customs in Italy unless required (e.g. to head south or southeast
over the Adriatic Sea or the Mediterranean Sea. Select alternate Schengen regulatory airfields, e.g. Dornbirn in Austria - from/to
there you can head south/north over Switzerland again (nice trip - and not to high mountains!) and avoid the regulated airspace
around Milano to the west and Bergamo to the east.

I hope that helps you planning the next trips.

Fly safe!

Regards,

-Kurt.

Bob et al,

I just checked my bill from Elba and the landing fee was just 1.29
Euro's. Not bad eh!
However, the take off was also 1.29. Then there was parking at 12.40,
airport service charges of 15.49, international passenger boarding fee
of 8.01, additional passenger tax of 2.50 and another 5.16 for filing a
flight plan, all plus 20% tax. And avgas was 2.74 / litre (compared with
about 1.75 in France). However Elba is a beautiful island and well
recommended despite the costs.
