PayPal now enabled in Webstore |
We have now implemented PayPal as the online payment method in the UPAC Webstore. This change to a known secure payment method should raise the comfort level of purchasers as well as the administration team. Purchasers do not need a PayPal account to make payments this way. Apart from better security, the main advantage is speed - since transactions are handled immediately, there will no longer be a delay of several days before your membership becomes valid. This should help many people with their insurance eligibility.
One huge benefit to both UPAC and our customers is that we will no longer have access to your credit card numbers. The Directors have been uncomfortable with this responsibility. PayPal gives us a secure and recognised way of meeting security needs and reducing the chance of something going wrong.
The purchasing procedure has only changed slightly. Instead of being asked for your credit card details on the UPAC Webstore, you will be redirected to the PayPal site. Once you have entered your payment information there, you will be returned to the UPAC Webstore. You will also get two (2) immediate confirmations: one from PayPal, the other from UPAC. We will still process your order as usual, but since payment is immediate, your memberships and renewals will take effect immediately. You will still get confirmation as usual.

Basic Ultralights can now operate in Class E Airspace! |
By Kathy Lubitz,
President
On February 23, 2010, UPAC received notice that the Exemption allowing Basic Ultralights to operate in Class E airspace has been signed by Transport Canada.
Effective immediately, Basic Ultralights equipped with a fixed or portable altimeter can legally operate in Class E airspace.
Basic Ultralights on cross country flights in Class E airspace must also have a portable or fixed magnetic compass or a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver.

There are several changes on the UPAC websites. First, I have added a Privacy Policy statement. It is at the bottom of the left-side menu. This is in keeping with PIPEDA - the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act in Canada.
Second, Park Aviation Services Limited now has a permanent banner on the site, to remind UPAC members of our affiliation with their insurance program.
Third, the major change will be the implementation of PayPal as the online payment option in the UPAC Webstore. This change to a known secure payment method should raise the comfort level of purchasers as well as the administration team. Purchasers do not need a PayPal account to make payments this way. Apart from better security, the main advantage is speed - since transactions are handled immediately, there will no longer be a delay of several days before your membership becomes valid. This should help many people with their insurance eligibility.
