Sox6 asked the question
Can anyone (HC, JimL etc) explain why PC2e wasn't introduced in the UK to the JAR-OPS 3 date but it could in the Netherlands? I get the impression there is an interesting 'backstory'.


Shell Management responded with
the UK CAA have rather lost the plot on offshore safety leadership. Its mainly down to turnover in personnel it seems.


What I find disturbing is that OEMs must comply with JAR-29 Certification rules in order to get Certification Approvals to field their aircraft, while it seems that operators and/or JAA member states can opt to not comply with JAR-OPS 3 Operating rules when operating those same aircraft. Why the apparent double standard?
