High Wing Drifter,
I don't understand where the explicit distinction between the UK-PPL and JAA comes into it though.
The old UK (CAA) PPL and the (UK issued) JAR PPL are different licenses covered by different sections of ANO Schedule 8 Part A. JAR FCL requirements do not apply to the UK PPL as far as I'm aware.
The theme and wording on both S8 sections is generally similar but the particular difference relevent to this discussion is that the no IFR in classes A, B and C restriction is given explicitly for the UK PPL in Section 1, 1 PPL(A) 2(e) whereas Section 2 on the JAR PPL doesn't have this explicitly but uses the JAR FCL 1.175 reference to impose the same restriction.
I wonder if lawyers go flying when the weather is too nice for lawying
