The lady at Wider Markets Support is very helpful but don't expect a final answer any time quickly. We've been in the system now for a couple of months, waiting patiently.
We only use RAF Benson for ILS and SRA approaches for IMC initial training/renewals and have never touched there, but still get charged the supplement as well as the approach fee (discount for training, which is very useful!) I think it works out at £17.50 for an ILS.
We can still benefit from the waiver by having reduced fees, so we're going through the system.
Originally we had to complete security clearance forms. These are no longer necessary but we did have to provide some data about pilots for clearance. Instead of putting down all the pilots who might fly the a/c, we put down the names of the instructors who will be in charge of the a/c. This is apparently quite acceptable.

Do tou have to obtain as application form to go through this process or will just a letter suffice? Is there a fee for issuing the certificate.
I guess if the MoD are vetting pilots using their airfields then it could be seen as a positive for operators of grouped owned - it's often the case that you know very little about new group members. If the MoD's vetting clears them for regular access to bases then it would be a fairly good indicator that they didn't have any 'nasty' hidden past!
Obviously I'm not suggesting jamming up MoD with applications, but if you have to do it anyway.......

Squadgy,
Try giving the lady at Wider Markets a ring. She e-mailed me the form and helped me fill it in. Still haven't had a reply back though, apprently it does take some time...

I have just recieved the forms from the MOD and I have to say that for a casual user it is probably worth paying the £20.00 insurance charge. The form was NOT designed for the casual user and until the form is completed an insurance waiver certificate will not be granted. Enquiries reveal that the form MUST be completed in all respects or it will not be actioned.
