VFR flying across Europe

This book is a practical guide to VFR flying across Europe.

The first part explains the common legal, operational, and meteorological framework: airspace structure, weather decision-making, flight planning, human factors, and risk management in European conditions. It focuses on how rules are applied in practice, and where pilot judgment remains the decisive factor.

The second part provides structured, country-by-country chapters with clear answers to the questions pilots ask before crossing a border: flight plans, customs and border requirements, equipment obligations, frequencies, and official data sources. Special attention is given to ultralight operations, including national permit requirements, limitations, and procedures that differ between states.

Each chapter highlights country-specific rules and operational conditions relevant to pilots that go beyond SERA, ensuring that local deviations and practical differences are clearly understood.

Designed for real cross-border flying, this book is meant to be a reliable reference — in planning, in the cockpit, and when decisions matter.
