Civil Airfield Sisteron Vaumeilh (LFNS) PPR

LFNS is a beautifully located airfield in Provence, primarily dedicated to glider operations. Powered aircraft generally require prior permission (PPR), but I’ve never had any issues (been there three times with PA28 and M20M). Apparently, having a reason ("business lunch" at the superb airfield restaurant, or a visit to the E-Props factory) is sufficient to justify an E-class landing. Radio communications in French only. Be advised: heavy towing activity, so the paved runway is not always available. When towing is in progress, land on the adjacent grass only and join the sequence with the tow aircraft. Do not overfly the gliders parked on the paved runway ("piste dure"). No fuel available, unless you know someone from the club who can sell you AVGAS charged to their account.
