a) PPR by radio is not always possible as there is breaks in cover.
b) Three runways sometimes all being used.
c) The CAA want it recorded.
d) Safety info not yet in the flight guides.
e) If we don't know you're coming we don't know you're missing. (Inhospitable terrain).
f) For those who are incapable of self briefing.
c) is most interesting..... why would the
CAA insist on PPR?
d) is most curious too; I have never heard of the CAA even acknowledging the existence of flight guides
I do like f) but why not get all proposed visitors to fax you a copy of their PPL?
I see where you are coming from but isn't it a sad state of affairs that somebody feels the need to explain to a
pilot how to land a plane? In fact if I was looking at this legally the last thing I would want to get involved with is a mandatory safety briefing because it implies that the airfield is in some way unreasonably dangerous. What if the pilot asks if there are potholes, you say No, and he goes into one and goes after you for the £20k?
