I recently reported on the changes since last year in the Belgian
requirements associated with the special permit required to fly over Belgian
territory with a homebuilt aircraft.
I am pleased to see that the UK CAA has relaxed their requirement, in that
homebuilt aircraft (with all documents valid) registered in an ECAC member
state can now visit the UK for up to 28 days without a special permit (which
in the past was easy to get, and free of charge, it should be added). This
is set forth in a revised exemption issued in April, see
http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/1407/20120427GenericConcession1No6.pdf
If only Belgium would reciprocate the welcome extended to Belgian homebuilts
visiting other ECAC member states .........
The revised UK policy does not appear to be reflected on the Europa Club web
site

k-from-abroad/
Looking very much forward to land at Popham next week!
