Meet-Up Saturday 8 August 2015 Rouen LFOP

If I interpret the AIP for LFOP correctly, filing the FPL 6hrs (or 12 if you believe in rumours) prior should do the trick as far as customs/immigration is concerned.

A taxi from LFOP to the city was, if I recall correctly, about €30

EHLE / Lelystad, Netherlands, Netherlands

I had a very good meal in Rouen at La Pecherie

EHLE / Lelystad, Netherlands, Netherlands

Soungs great!

There should be a few of us flying in. Anyone else interested?

My ETA should be about 0930 UTC. Sharing a taxi is always a good idea, more so in some places…

It looked foggy in the morning but the fog lifted up in time… mostly

A nice pic of the houseboats near Shoreham Airport

The airport from about 2000ft

Just above the haze at FL100

Paris Control gave us a nice shortcut straight to Rouen

This looks impressive – whatever it is (from FL100)

The airport, after a right break following an ILS to 22 and a circle to land to 04

A bit of the city, from base leg… rather hazy

Turning onto 04

Not much sign of aviation activity – the obligatory Robins

and not a lot else

Parked up – not hard to find room

Astonishing for a Saturday!

The city has loads of photo opportunities

An interesting dessert

FL090 on the way back – got a DCT to SITET

Curious layers near the French coast

Shoreham was manic, so we offered to bugger off for 10 mins to the east

Outbound track

Return track

Airport total cost €11.00

The meal for three of us came to €77

A HUGE thanks to Aviathor for collecting us in his car from the airport

And to the Shoreham fire crew for getting the plane out first thing – as they always do.

A brilliant day out. You guys and gals missed out on a great trip

Wait, no picture of a fish dish?

I was glad to have done trip trip because I tried it 3x before and each one was cancelled due to fog at Rouen.

Nice trip and photos Peter. Would like to have joined you. The city looks very picturesque. What were your flight times?

Nuclear powerplant.
Gravelines I would say, but easy enough to find on a VFR chart, look for the red P zone our your track
