In the UK, most movement limits at GA airfields are local government imposed agreements – a condition of the planning permission to operate the airfield.
I have landed at Split once, in 2009. They were really good. The refuelling was done on the main apron but I had to abandon the plane there and get Easyjet back (a few days of bad wx) and they wanted me to park on the tiny GA apron which is next to the runway. They had earlier quoted me the total cost incorrectly (too low) and when I came back to collect the plane some days later, they honoured the lower figure, even though the difference was quite trivial and I offered to pay the higher figure.
Not picking on the people at Split specifically. Im writing in general terms about most airports worldwide and most govt paid employees. The vast majority are employed in make work programs. But thats only my opinion. Yes there are exceptions.
I just think most of the managers dont realize what they could be capable of, so they can never reach their full potential.
Does anyone know the way this feature (s. France) was formed?
Or is it just a geological coincidence?
Here is one from the Pyrenees
Peter, I know this formation from my flights over the French Alps. It is situated north-northwest of Sisteron and called La Montagne de Saint-Genis. In geology the term Synclinal Formation describes it the best. You find a description under "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncline

Actually Im not sure that is the case. It would not be round like that in my opinion. More probably an extinct volcano or possibly a meteor crater. However if the latter Im surprised it was not mentioned so its probably not.
