Don't be daft Pace you know exactly what I mean - assuming you have a PPL

In Class G nobody has the power to issue an IFR clearance, is what I obviously meant. And the UK permits IFR in Class G, and all flight in G does not need radio contact.

So, no need to tell anybody when you are about to drill a hole in a cloud.

It is the UK's water-tight separation between the CAS/airways traffic (the "professionals") and all the dross below that, that confuses the hell out of so many people.

Mind you, I am sure 99% of European "dross" would swap their yokes for UK's free for all
