gCAP Limited

Specialised instrument approach plates for helicopters and Cat A aeroplanes.

   Terms and Conditions

  1. When you click to register you will be sent a password. You will be able to view the list of plates available without paying anything, but will not be able to download plates until payment has been made. If you try to download and have no credit with gCAP Limited you will be given the option of paying by credit/debit card or by cheque. If you choose to pay by credit/debit card you will be redirected to paypal.co.uk, who handle secure such transactions for gCAP Ltd. Shortly afterwards, you will be sent an email confirming that payment has been received. Paypal act as agents for gCAP and any issues you have with processing of payment should be forwarded to help@gcap.co.uk.

  2. If you order more than one licence, each must be assigned to a name, be it an individual, an aircraft or a room (eg 'Ops') but the name should be distinctive and cannot be a replica of one which is already held. When your account has been activated you will be required to supply names for the licences, the required number of which will be agreed by negotiation.

  3. Full licences are valid for the period stated on the licence. Licences may be used by the licence holder only. They are not sub-licensable or assignable, and may be rescinded if these terms and conditions are broken.

  4. At any one time, you may use one copy per licence of any plate to which you are permitted access ('click' licence holders may not have access to foreign airfields). gCAP Ltd reserves the right to make random inspections to ensure that all copies used are properly licensed. Entities abusing these terms and conditions or who deny inspection requests for reasons not considered reasonable by gCAP Ltd may have their licence(s) withdrawn.

  5. gCAP currently covers most of the UK (London excepted), most of Ireland, and some airfields in Northern France. The database is expanding all the time but no guarantee is made that any particular plates are available. The current list of plates can be seen by logging on, which requires registration, but there is no commitment to buy a licence simply by registering.

  6. You may make as many downloads as you like while your licence is valid.

  7. gCAP has taken reasonable care to ensure that information on this website is accurate and complete. However, this website is provided 'as is' and gCAP makes no warranties or representations, express or implied as to the content of this website. Further, gCAP makes no warranties or representations about the accuracy or completeness of this website’s content or the content of any third party website, nor as to the functions contained herein or therein or as to whether they will be uninterrupted or error-free or that defects will be corrected or that this website or the server are free from virus or other harmful component. gCAP makes no warranties or representations regarding the use of materials in this website in terms of their completeness, correctness, accuracy, adequacy, usefulness, timeliness, reliability or otherwise. To the extent permissible by law, gCAP does not accept liability for any loss that may arise from the reliance on information contained on or obtained through this website or for any loss relating to your inability to access the website or for loss relating to corruption or destruction of data. A quality system is in place, a copy of which, including copies of recent audits, is available for examination for a nominal fee.

  8. The gCAP service includes notification of updates provided you have a full, valid licence; users with 'click' licences do not get update information. If you have a full licence you will be sent emails advising of changes when they occur but this system must not be relied upon (since emails can be go astray, be delayed, deleted or not actioned) and therefore it is your responsibility to check the website for updates and to download the latest versions of plates before each flight. The email update service is for convenience only and does not abrogate your responsibility to check for updates via this site. gCAP Ltd updates the plates whenever a change is published in the AIP (not normally including NOTAMS); such updates are actioned on the night before the notified date of the AIRAC amendment.

  9. The cost of a full licence is £54, and the 'click' option costs 54p per download. (Please note that a download will be logged whenever you view a plate, whether you print it, save it or just look at it, since there is no way for us to distinguish between these three). If paying by cheque, please note that your licence will not be activated until payment has been received. These prices will remain fixed until 30 Sep 10.

  10. You may request a refund if gCAP doesn't meet your expectations. In such a case, we reserve the right to make a £4 administration charge, plus 54p per plate already downloaded.

The minimum contract period is one year, or less if stated on the licence. There is no minimum contract period for users opting for the 'click' option; such users will be kept on the database unless a specific removal request is received.
