Can anyone clarify which rule specifies PPR? the nearest I can find is:
20 (2)
The commander of an aircraft arriving at or departing from an aerodrome in the United Kingdom shall take all reasonable steps to ensure upon landing or prior to departure, as the case may be, that notice of that event is given to the person in charge of the aerodrome, or to the air traffic control unit or aerodrome flight information service unit at the aerodrome.
The pub in this case is an aerodrome while the helicopter is using it.
As I read this, the obligation is to report landing ASAP. NOT get prior permission. If this is the case, no rule has been broken.
I cant find any mention of PPR in the ANO. Is it the law of trespass? If so, is that not outside the remit of the CAA? Does trespass still exist?
Anyone help? Yet again aviation law is clear as mud.
Edit. I ask as I have dropped in at pubs (although recognised landing sites) in the past, unannounced, too. I always get ppr if planning a trip to restaurant or pub.
