Well the plaintiffs will try and tell it to suit them. And maybe they will succeed unless the court clearly understands the reasonableness and legality of the denial of service. But by the plaintiff’s own submission, no service was provided, they were just on frequency hoping to get one. So if no service is being provided, there is no service to be terminated. And if no service was being provided, there is nothing to hand over.

One for the lawyers and insurance companies. Doubt there will be any case law written changing ATC obligations on the basis of this.

But maybe Island Express could levy their customers a few bob in the price to ensure proper IFR competency for their pilots. All that kit just to smash it into the hillside.
