Council Van - you obviously haven't asked FCL4 for advice in a long time. Speaking from experience, If you ask the CAA to clarify anything these days you will only be told to look at LASORS. Half the staff in there either don't have a clue or don't give a dam! Recently i did exactly what you suggest to EMB and they just kept refering me to LASORS. After several months (each reply from them takes weeks) They eventually confirmed the requirements. I had in fact over the prolonged period discovered that what they said was completely wrong.
I e-mailed back telling them this and got a reply within 30 minutes from someone that knew what they were talking about and gave the correct information. As far as info on EASA, god help us!
