In Europe you need a JAA (to become EASA) licence and FI rating to legally give flight instruction.
I was explaining very clearly that the above statement by you is incorrect and giving one of hundreds of practical examples how it is so.
Please read the rest of my post for the detail.
Bose,
I am aware that one can apply to the DfT for permission to do what they call aerial work. However, after one gets past the fact that the DfT info is out of date, one should read very carefully what the local UK definition of aerial work is or more importantly for this case - what is not aerial work!!
