ELT/PLB in France

I notice that the French require PtF aircraft to have an ELT. Does anyone know if a PLB is acceptable?

Re: Aeronautical Chart Sheet 2171CD South Eng. ed40

My only comment is that it looks washed out and is not clear to read in bright sunshine. Print etc I think is fine.

Re: Source for Plexus

Thanks Paul,
Looks a reasonable price until you add on VAT and delivery! but much cheaper than ebay. Inc delivery the eBay suppliers were over £80 !! But it is great stuff. Bitten the bullet and ordered from LAS.

Thanks again

Re: Rotax and Avgas

I am becoming a little more confused over which mogas to use in my 912S. The book says super fuel Min RON95, AKI 91. Regular fuel in the UK appears to meet this spec. Am I correct in thinking that I can use regular fuel in my 912S (in the UK).

Fuel Prices and availability

I am sure this has been asked before, but- is there still nowhere on the internet that lists GA fuel prices and availability AND is up to date?

If not why not?
