The CAA can tell you what the law says, and it certain cases give you an exemption from it in writing, but they are not allowed to give an interpretation because that is not necessarily the interpretation a court would place on it. I'd put Mr Plod in the same group.
It sounds to me as though they have given a straight and correct answer Art 62(1) says it all. Has any insurer actually failed to believe this? The odd ill informed CFI might.
