Proof of Form Filing (UKBF) and Verification
You must only assume that a form has been filed correctly when you are in possession of a receipt number. This will be displayed on your list of GARs.
The status of your crew and passengers will also be displayed on the GAR receipt/result screen
With regard to this system, known as ‘permission to travel’ or the ETA system in UK, you are assumed to accept that it is the user as ‘commander’ who is responsible for all decisions and consequences. The software only relays information from the UKBF. It does not generate that information and is not responsible for its accuracy or its existence or absence. The pilot in charge aka commander has full responsibility for verification of the status of passenger and crew carried. myGar.net is not an absolute source of verification. information and absence of information via myGar/Manifest6 does NOT constitute authority to travel. Particularly where there is unclear status or no information, further verification assistance can be obtained from the help lines run by UKBF as given in the Apps. A user or operations person cannot take on this verification responsibility on behalf of the commander. The providers of this software do NOT provide ‘authorisation’ and are in no way responsible for any financial penalties which might arise from non verification or misinterpretation of information or any use of the software.
