Can anybody tell me the difference between a certificate of airworthiness, and a permit to fly?
* No flight in CAS.
* No flying permitted over built up areas (the definition of built up area is rather vague, I assume anything larger than a yellow square on the chart).
* Day VFR only.
* I beleive explicit permission is needed to fly outside of the UK.
* Owner maintenance is permitted with engineer monitoring and sign-off (i.e. much cheaper!)
* Only certain aircraft configurations can be inlcuded in the PFA (something like 4 seats max, single engine?. Not sure exactly what but there are some limitations). I don't believe performance is a factor. Don't some jets run on PFA. I understand most warbirds such as Spits and Hurries do too.
* No commercial/ariel work ops except displays, demos, instruction, etc.
Something like, that as a starter set. I'm sure I'll need correcting here and there.
