The local authority down here has there own set of regulations that are loosely based on the older UK CAA regs. They are in a period of transition to new regs based on ICAO standards.
If they had simply said that my friend had broken rule 313.45 found on page 145 of the CARS, we all would've been happy and accepted the error.
However, they said that he broke the law, he said 'which law is that', they said 'it's basic aviation knowledge'. I found it highly insulting, as, if this is 'basic knowledge' then clearly I, and Transport Canada, have no basic knowledge.
I anyone knows where any regulations is located from ANY regulatory body that states that this is legal or illegal, I would greatly appreciate the assistance.
Thanks again.
