Rule 5
Guys, I'm not always a lover of the CAA but there is some extra lift being generated here via hot air. As I understand it the relevance of the JAA is nil despite assertions to the contrary in this column elsewhere. These are Rules of the Air and NOT ANO changes and so the JAA don't come into it.
I agree with a previous correspondent that the main issues of proposed change relate to the 1500' and 500' Rule. I don't know how many of us know of the Official Record but the CAA had to put an exemption there a few years ago to let us do some of the low flying activities we currently do on airfields, I guess they will have to do something similar to cover PFL's etc.
The engine failure case quoted already exists and isn't a change so and as I see it s/e ops over London are not affected one jot.
