I think if airport officials got wind of this plague/pestilence about to descend on their airport they would probably call in sick.
Booked apartment
We will be arriving with P210 from LKLT, 3-5 souls on board, arriving 6th in the evening
Count me in with the Lancair Columbia +1 soul , not sure which dates yet
Nearer the time, I will knock together some airport charts and VFR charts of the area and will put them up somewhere and will email the location to those who said they will be coming.
I remind people to read posts 161 and 170. I think that if the wx is good, those who are intra-schengen will be advised to fly to the nearby airfields instead of Carcassonne itself, to avoid any hassles. UK, Swiss and Norwegian arrivals won’t have that option if they fly direct.
did anybody manage to fid out which of the nearby airfields would sell avgas please?
Lézignan-Corbières LFMZ
Castelnaudary LFMW
Under the “detailed information” tab, both show this
A google on e.g.
lfmw avgas
finds lots of hits, in French. All you need is a contact number and call it.
Could a French speaking person phone them up, please, and post the results?
Neither appears in the French AIP here
That’s the wrong link. See here.
I’ve landed a pair of times in Castelnaudary LFMW in the past, and if nothing has changed there is the ubiquitous Total automatic dispenser. If you don’t have a Total card you need help from any member of the aeroclub who has one.

I went to that one – could not find it under “aerodromes”. Anyway, Aviathor sent them to me – above.

Oh bugger!!! Does that mean the under the table deal where somebody pretends to fill up their own plane, and you pay cash?
