Welcome to the Ulster Flying Club |

Remove the requirement to file a GAR |
|
Nick Clegg has called for citizens to tell the government about outdated and expensive regulations that need repealed. John Hughes has answered that call on behalf of private pilots with a request to remove the very much outdated requirement to file a GAR when flying to and from Northern Ireland, The Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. I'm sure every one of us would support this so I urge you to read his petition and register to leave an endorsement and a rating
Please spread the word, the more support we have the stronger our case will be. |
