The CAA are prosecuting a Cirrus pilot for illegal IFR.
Does anyone know more about this?
I can only repeat the extended rumour that I have heard.
It was suggested to me that the scene of the rampcheck was East Midlands Airport and that the flight had arrived off airways.
The aircraft concerned had neither ADF nor DME (as is the case with many/most Cirruses) and the CAA is keen to make an example of the pilot - in line with its recent approach to infractions involving N-registered aircraft.
All rumour, no facts to hang this on though.
