GA Flight Requirements (UK / CTA)

Based on UK Home Office “General Aviation Guidance” (Published December 2024). This helper summarises GAR, police notification and aerodrome rules from your selections.

Flight Details

This refers to police designation (Schedule 7), not customs designation.
Affects police approvals/notifications when using a non-police-designated aerodrome on CTA routes.
When both ends are in the UK (GB↔NI), both designations matter.
Tip: “Europe” includes the Republic of Ireland. Choose ROI vs other Europe when selected.
