Hi all.

I passed my PPL Skills test a few weeks ago. Since then i have been checked out in the clubs C172 G1000 and also had a cross water check. This involved a flight from Newtownards to Prestwick with an instructor.

I am now planning on doing this trip with a passenger. I plan to fly from Newtownards to Prestwick and then onto Campbeltown, returning to Newtownards via the Antrim coastline.

The query i have is as follows. I know i need to submit a GAR 12 hours in advance for the Newtownards to Prestwick leg and then also the Campbeltown to Newtownards leg. However, what if i decide when in Prestwick that the weather is not suitable to fly into Campbeltown or some other issue that means i go direct to Newtownards from Prestwick? What do i do regarding the GAR as i will not be leaving via the airport i designated? Can this be amended?

I am happy enough with the flight plan requirements and the PPR requirements.

Sorry if this is a straight forward question.

Tim

PS on another note, anyone any advice for somewhere good for lunch in Campbeltown?
