*********************************************************

Hello,
Around 1:30 PM today, an aircraft from the HAVRE aeroclub returning from a local flight informed us of paragliding activity at an altitude of approximately 1500-2000 feet in the Cauville area. From the lookout, it did indeed appear to be at a considerable height.
In accordance with the protocol, could you please remind users of the authorized upper limit for Saint Andrieu, which is 200 meters above mean sea level (660 feet AMSL).
We appreciate your acknowledgment of this message,
Thank you for your cooperation, and we remain at your disposal if needed.
Best regards,
AFIS SERVICE
HAVRE Airport
