Here’s the new translation of the ‘flying site rules around Annecy’
panel. Thought I might post it here to try to increase the chances
that people will know what it contains before they fly here.

BTW, there seems to be a bit of a concerted effort by locals in
Perroix to get the Planfait landing area closed down. If you are
going to fly Planfait, try to make sure that you can manage land
actually in the field rather than in the general area, and don’t
bugger about in the surrounding fields or go tap dancing on the roofs
of the surrounding houses. This is beginning to become a sensitive
site, so treat it as such. If you aren’t up to it, go to Montmin and
go land at Doussard where there is ample room for when you get it
wrong.
