I am based in France and I am a member of AOPA UK. All the advice and information I got from Martin Robinson and his team of volunteers when I was wondering if I could fly F regs A/Cs over here on my UK PPL is well worth the 70 odd Quid of annual fees. . .. .As far as I am concerned, AOPA UK delivered where the CAA and the french DGAC failed.. .. .If you fly in the UK, join AOPA UK. You never know when you might need them and they do need your support.
