You need to understand the structure of the ANO. The Statutory Instrument consists of a series of Articles. Those Articles incorporate by reference other chunks of text, notably the Schedules 1 to 15 and other pieces of legislation like the Rules of the Air Regulations. The Schedules do not in themselves mean anything -- they are meaningful only in the context in which they are incorporated in the ANO.
For example, if you didn't read Art 14, you might not realise that Schedule 4 applies only to aircraft registered in the UK. If you didn't read Art 15, you might not realise that Schedule 5 applies to all aircraft in UK airspace.
Schedule 8 is meaningful only as incorporated by Arts 22 to 26. The pages of CAP393 are now anotated to that effect.
To make matters clearer
the ANO actually distinguishes between a
JAA licence which is a licence granted (by any JAA state) in accordance with JAR-FCL, and a
JAR-FCL licence which is a licence refered to in Schedule 8 Part A Section 2 -- i.e. the licences the CAA issues.
Is jar-fcl1 a document? is it available online? What does it say are the priviliges of a JAR_PPL?
Yes it's
online. I warn you, BOOKLADY, it's a riveting read and you won't be able to put it down...
In a rather complex way, it simply restricts the PPL to non-revenue flights, and to get at the bit you want, you need to look at the section on the privileges of the IR. That says you need an IR to fly IFR, unless national legislation requires you to fly IFR (e.g. at night) and you have appropriate qualifications. Guess which JAA state had that little gem put in.
You'll be relieved that it says nothing about provision of Approach Control Services outside controlled airspace...
