David, We have to clear at a customs airfield when we first land in any
Schengen country. Thereafter we can go freely from one Schengen country to
another stopping anywhere. It is effectively a single country for customs &
flying purposes, apart from the need to file a flight plan when crossing
any FIR boundary. Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ

Are you sure about that.
I think you will find that as the UK did not sign up to Schengen then all UK
residents are required to clear customs when going to another country even
once you are on mainland Europe.
All other European Nationals can certainly travel at will throughout
mainland Europe and with that in mind you may well get away with, but I am
sure the official line is that we UK people need to clear customs.

Bonjour Brian,
You are right.
From France to Spain you need a flight plan but it is not necessary to
take off and land from an airfield with custom service.

Does anyone know if we can fly from a non-customs airfield in one Schengen
country to another without problems? I am planning to fly from Southern
France to Spain this summer and cannot obtain this information from either
AIP.
