Hi Kandi, yes you will require, PPR, ring them up prior to your flight, and let them know you are coming. A GAR, which can be filed online,
www.onlinegar.com, and would suggest a flight plan.
Although, Newcastle is strictly VFR, have an alternate. Look at Weston.
If you have Sky Demon you can also file your flight plan through the web link.
Have a good flight. Plan the weather carefully.....
