If there has never been a reason then why was one instituted?
Agincourt just remind me which planet you come from ? You are either taking the p*ss or dare i say it unbelievably naive !!! A whole stack of rules regarding helicopter aviation in this country have no relevance at all and they were brought in .....
Sorry to hear about the result . Just another good reason to carry on flying ....but make all your flights private and not public transport ......yes i know i am always banging on about it but it has worked very well for me for the last 10 years and it means no floats for battersea and you can fly at night and it opens up hundreds of new landing sites no available to aoc boys.
Rumour has it the whole aoc system is going to be scrapped and some common sense prevail before everyone cancels theirs. I know of at least 3 aoc,s who are now doing more and more leases and intend to go fully that way in next few months . Good on them
