Are there rules about only flying aircraft types for which you have a licence? Are there rules for only flying aircraft which have an appropriate airworthiness certificate? Why should flying in airspace be treated any differently. I'm an Air Traffic Controller and our priority is safety, it seems a real shame that some portions of the aviation community don't view safety in quite the same way
