Colonel Mushroom :-
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.
That's an awful lot of hot air for someone who obviously can't give me a reference ...
If I didn't believe you and your amenuensis are firmly on the wind-up, I'd be happy to debate blind adherence to bad law by those incapable of independent thought, but I don't want to spoil your fun - I don't imagine you get out much ....
