I am very happy for them to make me there test case
I have been doing leases for , on and off , 25 years with 1) No complaint from any client / operator 2) No complaint from the CAA who have been furnished with all the details of what i do and have been asked numerous times to let me know if there is ANY aspect of what i do that may be illegal / grey area . I have confirmation from them that all i need to do is maintain the aircraft to PT standard . I have made it quite clear to them that there silence is in effect a confirmation that there is nothing illegal . If there were , they would have contacted me once over the last 20 years wouldnt you think
I have sent an email to 3 different CAA officers over the last 2 months and only got my first reply when i said i assumed they had all been made redundant as no one is flying now !!!
I think it is just the AOC,s making a fuss as they have to live by rules that appear to be thought up by lunatics and pay a fortune for the privilege .....and who can blame them !!!!!
The sooner we get an AOC "Light" , ie something that a small operator can actually live with , the sooner some sanity will prevail ...but you have 2 hopes of that in CAA Land ....Bob ...and NO
