T & B,
Crab,
Maybe you could stand back and look at why there seem to be so many who see your posts as "arrogant" ?
Have you thought how insulting you can be (and often are), when you strongly imply that a professional organisation would not continue with their standards and training, once approved by the CAA? How would you take such an accusation aimed at your SAR Op? You'd be understandably aggrieved/angry/p'd off if someone suggested that the RAF couldn't be trusted to maintain their standards, once approved: no?
And it has been pointed out already, you have an advantage of not requiring SSE at all times, yet have a fair pop at those who are constrained by civil regs to operate HEC Class D for training. See the reason why you come across to many of us as just a tad arrogant, or out of touch with the civ world?
