This sticky thread is here to point pilots towards a list of French customs airfields.

The list is here - designed to provide a good solid and reliable list.

You should use this list to help your initial planning, but then once you've decided on your destination you should also check the information yourself by checking AIP, NOTAM and contacting the airport.

Some background:
The system of choosing which airfields you can land at is confusing. You need to look in several places, and even then occasionally you'll be told something different when you contact the destination. This list is designed to pull all this together and save you having to follow the steps below

First, You need to look at the official ports of entry
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/ ... 7XC0413(02)

However there are some airfields that have made local arrangements to provide customs even though they are not on the official ports of entry. So...

Then check the AIP:
https://www.sia.aviation-civile.gouv.fr ... fr-FR.html

But the AIP can be very slow to be updated. So....

Then check the NOTAMS....

But occasionally NOTAMS aren't in place for some things too. So....

Then the website of the airfield.

But the websites are variable in quality. So....

Then contact the airport.

There's another thread that discusses this list, so if you have any comments post them on the old thread for now, until the list is "final".
