Given that pretty much all of my flying in the last 10 years has been cross country, mainly cross continent in fact, and all night flying is deemed to take place with reference to instruments, I’m perplexed! Someone only needs to look at the individual flight details in my logbook to see I have well in excess of their minimum requirements. UK CAA wouldn’t have validated my licence otherwise! Does anyone on here have any advice/ been in this situation themselves?
Did the examiner accept you logbook or not? Too many f@cking w@nkers around that roll with the legal argument. Sad bunch really. I hope you´ll get it sorted after you get past the clowns.
