All part of the plan !, hehe actually the project has been a closely kept AOPA secret for several years. There's been several attempts from on high to ditch th GAR and revert to entering via a designated port. AOPA (or a few of us foot soldiers) decided to prove the GAR system could work in 21st century. So far we're succeeding. The various apps are not perfect but doing the job. You can go to AOPA.co.uk or goav8.net where you can download a non browser version from the latter site which will save and recall previously sent GARs Tthere is an Android app on play store which saves everything and you can add crew from your contacts. Ditto now on Apple AppStore but it is as someone said an iPhone app so you must search for uk border force ga report in iPhone apps - works fine on iPad. Still evolving but easy to use. Take no notice of one idiot review which says 'backspace deletes evérything' it doesn't but we live in the instantaneous twit generation.
As always with aviation and forums like this there are those who say pooh its rubbish. But it is a free resource courtesy of AOPA volunteers and is improving all the time
Oh and BTW when you send a gar using this system it is directed in seconds to the appropriate office INcluding police... So it is a one stop shop. That does not apply to sending a gar via email or any other so called online form.
