Glider owners wishing to transition EASA gliders after 28th September 2009 should follow the revised process with updated BGA forms, completion of some additional CAA forms and after 28th October 2009 revised (CAA) fees. The Airworthiness Review part of the transition can only be completed by a BGA ARC Signatory.

During the BGA review of the transition pack the BGA will advise if a check flight is necessary, in these cases a CAA Permit to Fly will be issued.
