I dunno if you're limiting your comments to HEMS ops, or helo flying generally. If the first, I don't know the UK regs so can't comment. If the second, aren't you being just a bit sweeping? It's not as if there's some universal worldwide agreement on what regs and rules are necessary for safety.
Your UK rule 5 is much stricter than our FAA regs on low flying. Can't see no wrong in a pilot saying in his opinion the rule 5 is too strict. We have to comply with the regs but I can't see what's so terrible bout a pilot saying he disagees with this or that rule. I'm a bit worried about you saying we should just accept laws are made by wiser cleverer people who know more than we do? You must have got better quality government employees and politicians over there than we do!
