Hmm,

Sounds fine in theory.

But like so many of our rules, it will be virtually impossible to prove a breach, so no one will try.

It will be complied with by sensible pilots, who would probably make sensible decisons anyway, and it will be ignored by those a******s who ignore most of the rules.

The limit is pretty arbitrary anyway. I would not want a low time PPL to SFH in an R22 flying in 3K vis, for example.

It will keep the regulators happy that they are doing something, but have no significant effect on safety, and it will help to keep a few civil servants and printers in work.

Me cynical..... surely not
