Hilarious !!!! Where are you living ???!!!! They are a totally ineffectual bunch of bureaucrats intent on putting the final nail into the GA coffin . Why do you think 90% of private helicopter owners do not operate within the aoc rules ?? Why are 90% of all revenue single engine flights non aoc ?? I am now waiting for months on end to get my 505 onto an aoc and I am expecting it to be short lived !!
Nigel, I agree the CAA are no good for promoting business and in many cases it seems they are intent on ruining business which is what you may be referring to but my point was that their interest lies with protecting the customer/passenger.
