Just to chuck in my pennies worth
I fail to see why a CVD pilot is not allowed to fly paying passengers (for a company with an AOC) DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS VFR ?
I asked the question when restrictions were imposed and was told "because commercial pressures might mean that you would fly after sundown" - Nonsense - what if the AOC was for day VFR operations only? what if I might break all of the air navigation order (or is it just because CAA are bloody minded and inflexible)
Next question - why can I not teach on aircraft other than G reg and only in UK airspace?
Answer - because we have got around the JAR rules by issuing a UK JAR license with restrictions so they cannot be automatically accepted by others
But not everyone in the world is JAR you idiots ! and some of them have already said I can fly at night !
So if G on tail no night, If N on tail the night OK ,
Why am I dangerous teaching on a French registered Cessna but not a UK registered one? has it got any bearing on seeing colours? answer No - but our hands are tied bt regulations and this is a bit of a paperwork fudge to get aroung things - you should be grateful ! Well i'm not bloody grateful because you should change the regulations to make them logical, sensible and factual with basis on the condition.
OK to teach in UK but not in Ireland......
What the hell has all of this got to do with a very slight colour perception problem ????
Answer nothing !!!
And the ising on the cake???
UK only aircraft and UK only airspace restrictions can be removed when passing CPL exams OR gaining 700 hours......but I have passed the CPL exams that is why you have issued me this restricted license....ah but thats because you are cvd.....so I waited until I had 700 HOURS AND PAID THE FEE AND THEY REMOVED THE RESTRICTION FROM ONE AREA PAGE OF MY LICENSE BUT NOT ANOTHER ????
This is the same CAA that issued me a night rating aFTER CONVERSION TRAINING FROM faa AND THEN restricted license to night only and wouldn't refund the fee for the night rating
Where else would this nonsense prevail????? Want a test case I am your man !!!!
