Teaching & Gaining the Mountain Rating in the UK
So do we know if there are any landing areas in the United Kingdom that fall under this new classification? I have been studying CAP804, our new LASORS, and have read FCL. 815.
It seems remote that the Mountain Rating would be of use to a PPL holder in the UK and equally, it would be difficult for an instructor to teach it if certain criteria cannot be met, for example..
"6 landings on at least 2 different surfaces designated as requiring a
mountain rating other than the surface of departure".
Is the CAA going to reclassify these places that we could/could not land on without a rating. I personally don't know of any. And in terms of course content to gain the rating, it seems a little vague.
Cheers
