As many will be aware, the French have just published their annual release of the half-million scale VFR maps.
There is a problem through.
The South-East Map is the one affected, which covers roughly the area from South of Dijon to Corsica, and West from Genoa as far as Toulouse.
The key error is that the Lyon TMA is not correctly represented. This is asubstantial chunk of controlled airspace, and any "sad" forumites heading down there VFR might find themselves unwittingly infringing it if they go by the existing charts. The French DGAC website has the full and correct details.
I haven't checked to see if the 1,000,000 scale maps suffer from the same problem, but it would be a good idea to check if you are heading down to those parts this summer.
