Thank for your extensive reply.
The CAA SRG references you quote are very interesting! IMHO they completely alter the original AIC... and as you say, are not compatible with BA's fuel policy.
There is a chance I will shortly undergo a course where my responsilbilty towards such matters is somewhat more than at present. Not having a clue what CAA SRG SOC's are, or where I can find them, I can see some research coming on, and some questions being asked if such course occurs.
Between all the bickering on other threads, one's such as these increase all our knowledge levels, and particularly different areas' perceptions.
Thanks again...
