	03.06.19	Thomas Moore [tkm_tech]	If you're flying into LFOB, allow plenty of time to sort the paperwork in advance! Recommend that you first contact the airport duty station manager by e-mail (dsm@aeroportbeauvais.com) to advise of your intention to visit, then follow that up with a phone call (+33 678 00 9664). For some reason, they don't seem to receive e-mails reliably but are helpful on the phone (and speak English). The DSM will send over a form by e-mail, which needs to be completed and returned to arrange handling and a parking stand. It took two days of e-mails and phone calls to get a stand allocated for a PA32, despite being the only light aircraft there when we arrived. Once parked, you are not permitted to disembark the aircraft until security officers arrive to check aircraft documents and escort you to the customs station. After a passport check, you are allowed to leave the restricted area via a turnstile in the security fence. Allow plenty of time to get back to your aircraft for departure! After a security screening, I had to wait nearly 30 minutes outside in a holding area for someone to walk me 20 metres back to my aircraft (via a customs check). Contrary to advice, AirTotal is not accepted for AVGAS but there is a self-service credit card pump available, which works well. ATC were exceptionally helpful and very professional. The airport itself, however, was very frustrating to deal with and remarkably expensive. There is a rumour that the flying schools were/are able to provide handling but I wasn't able to confirm this. Certainly worth checking out, since the airport handling fees are very high. My grade: It's a ripoff but I have seen worse Category:
