Do you have any source for this? Like greg_mp said, during summer the NOTAM simply says Y fpl prohibited, without stating such exceptions…
Airport AIP/VAC, the Zulu restriction is all year around…for Yankee, you get more of this stuff in AIP_SUP, NOTAMS during busy season
It’s Y on arrival and Z on departure, just anything to prevent Jets in the TMA/CTR in VFR tracks.
For the Cannes-based jets (less than a tens regular), they could accept because they know plane and pilots, and there will be no surprise when asking any special stuff.
That last one is mainly because Nice and Cannes share the same TMA, managing a clearance delivery when there are 20 buses arriving in sequence in Nice, is just not possible in rush time. It’s yet complex just to check-in.
All the more that VFR departure at 1000ft are crowded by pistons (80-120kn), ULM just passing by (60-80kn), there are a lot of heli also (between 500 and 1500, and not always on the radio). Managing a clearance delivery while looking outside at 200kn is just dangerous. And franckly speaking, SIDs from Cannes and Nice are never done completely, they always give you the best direct whenever possible. The only shitty thing is the departing slot in summer time, in addition to airspace congestion.
If you want to trick that, you can leave VFR from Cannes to Cuers (25min flight West, LFTF) or even Fayence (10min WNW, LFMF), and make a Z FPL from there.
Thanks for the clarifications!
