[VeeAny]

Aerodrome defn from the ANO is
'Aerodrome' means any area of land or water designed, equipped, set apart or
commonly used for affording facilities for the landing and departure of aircraft and
includes any area or space, whether on the ground, on the roof of a building or
elsewhere, which is designed, equipped or set apart for affording facilities for the
landing and departure of aircraft capable of descending or climbing vertically, but shall
not include any area the use of which for affording facilities for the landing and
departure of aircraft has been abandoned and has not been resumed;'
So Perhaps there is a point to be made !
I seem to remember an ex CAA speaker, who used to be in charge of Low flying Prosecutions talking at an FI seminar who said no one had ever contacted him, to say they had contravened a rule (even for a safety reason), perhaps now we can see why.
Flying Lawyer perhaps you could give your opinion, even if just based on what has been posted here, just for our education.
