In Europe, to fly a private light airccraft across international borders the jurisdictions of the countries concerned need to be notified (with the exception of intra Schengen movements in the EU) The UK was one of the first to introduce a facility to submit the required check information online some 10 years ago. OnlineGAR.com was set up to make this much speedier and simpler. Different jurisdictions all require similar information β what is the aircraft, a Manifest of those on board, and the journey details. This is variously know as a βGeneral Aviation Reportβ (GAR) or a General Declaration (GenDec) OnlineGAR.com was a UK based website which is authorised to submit required documentation for cross border private general aviation flights in the UK Since the changes made by UK Border Force to require passenger checking OnlineGar.com can no longer provide a web base service. Its role has been taken over by the MyGar apps. full explanation is available on MyGar.net The Apps will run in a standalone configuration on Iphones/iPads/Android/Windows and Mac desktops. Information for the cross-border submission is drawn from the userβs own files and is not stored in the cloud except that any user with a valid cloud service such as google drive, dropbox or iCloud may store information in their own personal cloud storage and recall it even if working on a different platform elsewhere PPR-pal/MyGar (Manifest6) will also assemble in PDF form similar Border Entry documentation for several other jurisdictions other than UK. (Ireland, Isle of Man, Guernsey Jersey, Belgium and Holland). Copies of such Border Entry documentation are often accepted by handling agents in many countries. PPR-pal/MyGar makes it easy to share such information as the user chooses entirely controlled by the user. The UK no longer accepts paper forms so to use PPR-pal one must also have a member registration on the MyGar.net website to use the apps, but PPR-pal/MyGar(Manifest6) allows the user to exclusively control his own information storage. Cloud providers such as Google and Dropbox require developers to explain why they need access to user sensitive data. The developers of PPR-pal(Manifest6) DO NOT have access DO NOT share users data with anyone at all. Emails IDβs or journey details are entirely closed and open only to the user. They are only stored on the userβs cloud account if the user approves and then such data is only accessible to the user. Absolutely no sharing for marketing or other purposes takes place β Only the user can see the users data.
