Or, if like me, you regularly fly with a seventy-something year old pilot who doesn’t ‘do’ the internet. I file the GARs on his behalf, naming him as the PIC. That costs a princely £18 on OnlineGAR for a return trip, as it needs a professional account to do it. Although I would like to support a service that has made filing GARs a lot easier than it used to be, that is a lot to pay.
Instead, I’ve recently started using the free government portal. But that requires you to enter everybody’s passport, DOB and address details twice, once for each leg of a trip. And it doesn’t store them for easy re-use on future trips. Both of which are so infuriating that it almost makes the £18 seem worth it. I know this chap’s passport number and expiry date by heart now!
