.. .. .. and the answer is,
we are going to try and get a national difference agreed.
On an aside issue, I was pondering how EASA intends to enforce its new ANO. Presumably this is to be left to the respective national authorities (who will effectively be EASA satellite offices). For example, a pilot is accused of low flying - will this still be prosecuted through the local magistrates court?
On another side issue what will happen to the special exemption permitting pilots to operate in class A without an IR for the purpose of parachuting, glider launching or high performance civilianised jets? Are these to be national differences, rights abolished or exceptions?
