Flights Abroad by British Pilots : Importance of Carriage of Correct Documents. (162791 /32.) . COMPLAINTS have been received that civil pilots have frequent'y arrived in Germany from abroad without being in possession of necessary documents such as Pilots' Licences and Certificates of Airworthiness, thus causing considerable inconvenience both to the German authorities and to themselves. The attention of pilots is therefore drawn to the necessity of ensuring, before leaving on a flight abroad, that all documents in respect of the aircraft and its crew, passengers and cargo which are prescribed in connection with international air traffic by the Air Convention or by the individual regulations issued by the country or countries to be visited, are actually carried in the aircraft. In cases of doubt as to what documents are necessary in particular cases, the required information can be obtained from the Secretary (C.A.4), Air Ministry, Adastral House, Kingsway, London, W.C.2; the Automobile Association (Aviation Department), Fanum House, New Coventry Street, London, W.l ; National Flying Services, Ltd., London Air Park, Feltham, MidlesexJ; or the Royal Aero Club, 119, Piccadilly, London, W.l.
