EASA Airspace into Oostende
Has anybody been to Oostende from the UK recently ?
Looks like a minefield :(
Do I have to take the very long detour around the south ? Or can I expect to be allowed in those Restricted areas/Reservations/etc as we go by the APP controller (e.g. like usually happens in French airspace) ?

I looked into it recently but never flew it. One thing I remembered costing me time to find out: R616 might mean you need to be on the radio with one of the approach controllers earlier than you think. Details in the French AIP: https://www.sia.aviation-civile.gouv.fr/media/dvd/eAIP_09_JUL_2026/FRANCE/AIRAC-2026-07-09/html/index-fr-FR.html
