So.......having fire cover is the reason all that training must be done at a licensed airfield?
Why is it I am a bit.....well.....errrrr.....dubious of that being all that important?
Why would "fire cover" be more important than say....ATC?
So on a cross country flight for training....where one was to be doing an approach to a hover...then departing again for the next stop....one has to have fire cover to be legal for initial/rating training? But....not for any flying after you have your license or rating? Now that makes complete sense to me....NOT!
Nigel is right.....you guys are out of your minds to accept such bovine fecal matter!
Perhaps you might find some salt water somewhere and start chucking some CAA folks into the briny!
