Oh deary deary me.

A PPL is entitled to access Class D airspace once he has been given permission to do so by the controlling authority. Read the reference I provided earlier.

A PPL does not have a right to enter Class D airspace because your aircraft rating is a privilege which is entirely at the mercy of the CAA or whoever it is now granting the things. It's not a right as you originally claimed, since weaseled out of. Read the ANO, then something like the human rights act, and see whether flying a light aircraft is mentioned in our list of rights.

Now, I may well be a smart ass but at least I know what I am talking about. Whereas you definitely are, but you don't
