A commercial air transport aeroplane was on approach to runway 05. The Rafale pilots were cleared to fly a reciprocal QFU pass overhead the aerodrome. At the end of the manoeuvre, they vacated the axis to the west and closed in on a  C172 (F-HJAK). The Rafale pilots perceived the C172 and carried out an evasive manoeuvre.
