 Looks good -- but isn't it based on the "old" airspace definitions?
 In Europe, all the various national peculiarities have been done
 away with, and there's a uniform system of airspace Class A thru
 Class G.   Rules are pretty much the same in all EU countries
 (not _exactly_ the same -- that's too much to hope for!).

 Under the European airspace definitions, VFR is prohibited in Class A
 airspace.   If the Controller likes your voice, he may give a SVFR
 clearance.   Otherwise, it's stay _out_ unless you have a full IR.
