I have recently heard that the gendarmes have fined
someone over 900 euros for flying in to Le Touquet without
a PLB. When I last heard, I understood that a PLB was
compulsory for a certified aircraft but not for a Permit
aircraft. Can any of our French friends tell me what is
the current law?

Hi David,
Attached is the official publication regarding ELT and PLBs requirements in France. The yellow highlighted lines say : « all aircraft must carry an ELT or PLB except for CNRA, CDNR, CNRAC, CNSK et ULM » . That means that french homebuilts, orphans and microlights are not required to carry a PLB or ELT. So the question is whether or not a foreign Permit aircraft is to be considered as an equivalent of one of those french restricted certificates. I am afraid the answer depends on the gendarme ! To any Europa pilot who would be tentatively fined in France for not carrying a PLB I would suggest to say : « this is a kit built aircraft equivalent to a french CNSK. Therefore, according to Arrêté du 26 mars 2008 I am not required to carry a PLB or ELT ».
That said I believe having a PLB on board is a good thing.
