 Posted: Sat May 08, 2010 7:30 am Post subject: Mode C in Germany and France |
 |
|
I am planning to fly down to Provence (from Norway) early this summer.
As far as I have been able to ascertain, Mode S will not be required in neither Germany nor France if I stay out of controlled airspace and under 5000 ft MSL. That should not be a problem, there are many airfields I can use outside of C and D airspace. Certainly, I will be permitted to make a precautionary or emergency landing at a controlled airport, but:
<![if !supportLists]>- <![endif]>will I be permitted to take off again, after the technical problem has been resolved or the weather has cleared (I assume that deteriorating weather may qualify for requesting precautionary landing permission) and fly out of the controlled zone, without having a Mode S transponder??
Does anyone know, or know where I can get a reply to this question?

Sven,
Mode S is (fortunately) not yet mandatory for VFR in France. To my understanding it is enforced only for IFR flights.
Most small aircraft are still equipped with mode C, and there is no problem at the moment to get clearance into C/D airspaces, nor with flight information services.
The following link show the status in Europe:

Have a nice trip !

Hi Svein,
The rules in Germany are that Mode S is required :
Over 5000ft MSL or 3500ft over ground (for mountains) whichever is the higher and within controled airspace except control zone "D" airspace.
So do not worry, you can still land on larger airports.
Pop in and see us at EDLM.
Best regards
Barry Tennant
