Genghis, with all your CAA contacts could you get an answer any quicker than the rest of us?
Wrong bit of the CAA I'm afraid, all my contacts are on the certification and FT side - on operational and training matters it takes me as long to get an answer as anybody else.
Also sometimes it's best not to ask a question too directly of CAA, because if you get the wrong answer it can be very difficult to get them to change their minds.
