4dogs – you’re too kind.
If I wanted to be hairy-chested about it, I’d probably:
- give it a go under 92, and let someone have a go at challenging its validity;
- use 215(3) to direct all AOC holders to put a prohibition, to the effect set out in AIP 80.3, in all Ops Manuals;
- use 5.11 and 5.16 to impose conditions, to the effect set out in AIP 80.3, on all licences and ratings
All of these could build in exceptions for specifically qualified people in specified circumstances.
(There was a time when a range of posters on this forum would say - do as they do under the FARs.)
