N Reg Public Transport and UK

Vee Any covered this item adequately.

Many of you out there will know that a couple of years back the CAA prosecuted me for flying an N reg MD 500 on PT work without D of T permission. Had I obtained permission - no prosecution on that item.

In court the CAA lawyer, said simply that HAD I asked for permission I would have got it and that there were no safety implications.

Court result: Case discharged by the Launceston magistrates but I was required to pick up £2,500 of CAA costs out of a requested £6,000.

Moral. Get D of T permission.
