Hugh, ypour post is as offensive as it is unnecessary. How dare you call someone upholding the law, standards and safety pompous?
You, sir, like yourcolleague gasax, are an ignorant prig.
A prig because you clearly think you are above the law, and have a bad attitude towards it, even when it is manifestly obvious that you are in the wrong, yet still think it smart to argue like a chav car thief that you don't believe it bcause no one has shown it you in writing. The law says NO, end of. There is no discussion because you think you can argue a personal exemption.
Wise up.
Ignorant, because of your telling remark about radio failure/calamity. Are you really a pilot? I doubt it , somehow.
Reason?
Any proper pilot has read the ANO - heard of it?
And what does the ANO say about obeying rules in cases of emergency?
Well, what???
I'm not going to give you a reference - go look it up, and then, if you're man enough, come back here and apologise.
I maight have added daft, or worse too. Why?
Transair selling them. Think about it, go on, try!
It is illegal to shoot people, but guns can be held legally. You can buy a bottle of scotch, but up to you if you drive afterwards... and, as someone said above, they can be used by passengers. Ain't rocket science, is it?
Du'oh!
Please, stay on the ground! You're doing aviation no favours at all coming out with woolly-minded crap like this.
