Spanish regulations and (lack of) enforcement.
I am in agreement with Furia.
I have never travelled in a helicopter and do not plan to. Anywhere. Ever.
I do however fly through Spanish airspace regularly on commercial flights.
I have no direct knowledge of what the pilot and the ATC are up to but I have seen enough here on these threads to worry me, such as the very recent thread within ATC about Spanish ATC where the issue of Spaniards favouring Spaniards got everybody going [including some of my fellow Brits, pilots at that, who contributed at length !] whereas the core issue raised by the OP of improving SAFETY didnīt get off the ground (sic).
I have seen other elements of Spanish government bureaucracy close up professionally and the idea expressed by Furia that they say "fill in all the paperwork in triplicate with photos of everyone including the tea-boy and then do as you see fit on the ground/ in the air(?) because we are far too busy and important to leave the office to have a look" is one which I can endorse. In spades.
Words fail me.
