Re: JAR Compliant PPL vs JAA PPL - Difference?
Because the UK is allegedly one of those countries where legal residents are free to go about their lawful business without being hassled by the Gov'mint. If you cannot demonstrate an overwhelming safety based case why decent people shouldn't be able to spend their own money in the way they see fit then you should leave them alone.
(Doubt the FAA care about whether it's IFR at night in the UK, it's not in the US when VMC and that's what counts to them, IMO)
