Even with google translate, the meaning was lost on me 
Well, don’t you know french pilots make karaoke contests in the cockpit while flying in CAS ?

I find the French “Safety Cartoons” infinitely more instantly to the point and amusing than the ridiculous EASA ones…
Why does EASA feel the need to re-invent the wheel on absolutely EVERYTHING… including cartoons FFS !!
They could so easily have just used the DGAC ones as they are, or better yet translate to English/Spanish//German etc..

Flying is a joy in France and how better to enjoy it than a little song, in Italian of course.

Brit pilots (as well as ATS) like to sing “Shaggy It Wasn’t Me” near CAS

I guess it’s a matter of taste. I find them childish and condescending. The DGAC systematically treats non-professional pilots as if they were kids to be schooled on how to behave.
It is fine to raise awareness on safety but there are better ways to do it I think, ways that respect the intellect of the people they are addressed to.

I dont disagree entirely, @Seba : But have you seen the EASA ones? Some of those have distinctly dodgy advice in them aswell, like the one suggesting a huge long drag-it in final and being “stable on approach at 2.5NM, if not go around” or some such rubbish…

There was a recent one advocating stable at 500’, “which means at 1.5 NM or 2.8 km from the runway threshold” given a 3° approach. I can’t say that sounds unreasonable to me if you operate from an airport with a 3° PAPI and reasonably long runway. Particularly if there is mixed traffic as it was in that particular case.
If the runway is short, a steeper descent may well be more appropriate. At my airfield (630 m grass runway) we use approximately 1,5 km finals. with a correspondingly steeper descent.
I think GA is steering a narrow line between looking like
The former gets you deregulation, but treats GA like kids. The latter gets you airspace access, but scares the “professional pilots” and related bodies such as CAAs, ATC, airline pilot unions, etc.
