Another mailshot going out, so if you don’t get it, check your profile preferences

If someone needs some motivation to make kids want to come along 😎, the airfield hosts actually some sort of activity center

And there is a rack railway not far away (and in operation, cremallera de Nuria) that seems to go to some scenic place.

I might do refuelling stop at Perpignan LFMP instead of LFMU. I could do LDVA to LECD direct but there’s no fuel at LECD. So the idea is to refuel as close as possible to LECD and then fly back home directly. In case of any stronger headwind than forecasted, I can always land at LJPZ or LDLO before continuing to LDVA. Fees at LFMP and LFMU should be very similar and the fuel at LFMP should be a bit cheaper. Besides that, I’ve never landed to LFMP, so that’s additional bonus

I registered myself at MyDz and it seems very easy and straight-forward. Any known downsides about landing at LFMP?

Is this Mydz thing needed for Beziers as well?

LFMP VAC is very complete.
The airport seem to have put a gate with a code to get back in. Very easy.

The only thing I don’t understand how to get JET A1. @bogivara recently typed a pirep, he must know the process.

Hi. I Have never had the chance to attend one of the EuroGA flyins, but it looks like my wife and I might be able to get there. Very excited by the prospect.

So, couple of questions if I may.

1. Is it OK for us to barge in at the last minute?
2. Main reason for wanting to come is to finally meet all you wonderful people, so is there a dinner or something where this will happen?
3. # We can probably find a hote, but will there be space to park the plane overnight saturday to sunday?

I sent the question to airport via MyDz regarding fuel and I’m waiting for reply. AIP says Jet A1 is available via fuelling trucks which is usual on larger airports.

Hi Buckerfan,

1. Yes, absolutely! An email went out just yesterday to remind people just in case anyone else would like to come along. So yes! Last minute is perfectly fine! Encouraged even!
2. Aart is organising it, but yes, it’s intended to have a group dinner. I don’t know where it will be (Not sure if Aart knows yet or not) but the best thing to do is to join the Telegram App group.
The link is here
Telegram Group

That’s where the fine details are discussed and how dinner will be notified and co-ordinated.

3. From conversations I’ve read in the Telegram group, parking space doesn’t seem to be an issue.

Looking forward to meeting you!

Colm

The AIP entry for the airfield is only officially available in Spanish. I’ve created an English translation here. It’s unofficial, but has been reviewed by the airfield OPS and they are happy with the translation.
