End of days for CPL's flying left seat over 5700 kgs
The new Part 61 has a nasty surprise waiting for all those flying aircraft over 5700 kgs with a CPL. This will no longer be allowed and all pilots flying as PIC on these aircraft must have an ATPL.
The next surprise is that flight tests for an ATPL can only be done on a turboprop or jet or level D simulator - no more Baron or Seneca ATP tests!!
There are a lot of other surprises in store, some good and some bad, but all in all the new regulations are really good for SA aviation.
