And how is all the enforcement going to be policed and funded - surely not from the legitimate G-reg owners and CAA licensed pilots?!
If we don't have enough customs and immigration staff to address al the problems with smuggling and illegal immigration, how in God name can they even hope to staff this properly, let alone the cost to the public purse in unsuccessful prosecutions?
This has got to be a non-starter and I very much doubt it will be fairly and evenly applied on a EU-wide basis, which means owners will change the aircraft 'normal residency' to states who apply the rules to suit them (you all know who we mean there).
Making a more practical IR written exam available for GA pilots would be one good move, bringing back the class 3 medical another and finally ensuring that all corporate pilots are dual qualified both on licence and type!
