2. Nonscheduled commercial aircraft (including air travel clubs and affinity group charters) landing for commercial purposes must obtain prior permission from the Direction Generale de L'Aviation Civile (DTA/E), 93 Boulevard du Montparnasse A Paris, 75270 Paris Cedex 06, France (TELEGRAPHIC ADDRESS: AVIACIVIL PARIS/TELEX: NONE) at least 15 days prior to departure. Applications must include:

b. Type of aircraft and registration marks;

c. Complete route of flight;

CORPORATE AIRCRAFT CONSTRAINTS

Cabotage prohibited for residents and nonresidents. Corporate aircraft may fly to noncustoms airports or perform repeated noncabotage flights for a period up to 6 months if the operator posts a bond and obtains a temporary import permit from customs on first entry.

SPECIAL NOTICES

A private aircraft may remain in French territory for a maximum duration of 6 months (within a 1 year period) without being subject to French taxes and special authorizations. During that time the aircraft remains under surveillance of the French Customs Bureau. However, upon arrival, which must be at designated aerodrome of entry, the pilot is given, at no cost, a ``Control Document'' edited in French, English and Spanish, which must be returned to the French Customs prior to leaving France (such departure having to be made also from a designated aerodromes of entry). If the aircraft does not remain in France more than 7 days, a ``Control Document'' will not be issued.
