The Terrorism Act 2000 came into force on 19 February 2001and impacts upon general aviation and the responsibilities of pilots/owners.

 

The Captain of an aircraft employed on a journey within the Common Travel Area carrying passengers other than for reward shall not permit it to call or leave a port in Great Britain or Northern Ireland unless it is a designated port or he/she gives at least 12 hours notice in writing to a Constable for the Police area in which the port is situated. (Or where the port is in Northern Ireland, to the Police Service of Northern Ireland).

 

There are no designated ports in terms of the Terrorism Act within the Fife Constabulary Force area. Effectively what this means is that the General Aviation traffic travelling to and from the Common Travel Area and Fife Constabulary, are required by law to give at least 12 hours notice in writing to Fife Constabulary. The attached General Aviation Report (G.A.R.) form is designed to cater for this and it has to be completed fully and faxed to the number listed on the rear of the G.A.R. form 01383 414827.
