It is true that the Campaign Against Aviation does not mandate the wearing of high viz clothing, so no more nonsense about that then.
What they do mandate is that to hold a license to operate said aerodrome one must satisfy the local inspector (yes yes oh yes!) that a Safety Management System is in place. See that easy read CAP168.
Now on the basis that all aerodromes are in fact private property, or Municipal land with bye laws, means that the owner can stipulate whatever rules they like, as a condition of use.
I would love to own a licensed aerodrome simply for the opportunity to enact some bizarre Apron Safety Rules of my own (and MATS part ll - what an opportunity
)
Just as you would not permit some visitors to do, or not do, certain things in your garden, so can airfield owners. At the end of the day, you dont have to go there if it upsets you.
