There are probably many more differences. I sincerely hope that our much

enough to attract en-route IFR fees though.

Thanks for the info. I'm hoping to do some flying in the UK some time when
I'm over on business -- I'd especially like to fly along the SE coast past
Hastings, where my spouse and I spent a big part of our honeymoon in the
summer of 1988.

If I recall correctly, isn't there also a restriction in the UK that you
need prior permission to land at any field (vs. Canada or the U.S., where
prior permission is required mainly at military or private fields)?


All the best,
