Britain Weighs Ban Against Basing Non-UK Aircraft

[Genghis the Engineer]

You'll find very few Brits who disagree with you there, although post-JAR-FCL it's got worse, not better.

The basic problems are:-

- Lack of an affordable IR for PPLs / GA.
- Inability to use the UK IMC rating outside the UK
- Particularly silly and expensive rules for exchanging a non-JAA licence for a JAA one.
- UK insisting upon every GA airfield used for training being licenced for public transport.

I'll not say that we Brits are alone in this sort of stupidity, but we are probably one of the worst countries in the world.
