rotarywise, not really helpful to point out the JAA bit as we were allowed for a time to do pplh in a 500 as it is 4 seats with duals in. I have certainly done a couple admittedly about 10 years ago now. It is now the turbine engine that is the stumbling block, God knows why ? An engine is an engine as long as it works and you know how to start it and what happens when it starts misbehaving so what !!!
I am afraid EASA combined with where Gatwick is going is killing our industry. Have just been working with The Irish, Check and Swedish CAA what a difference in attitude and ability, for one you can pick up the phone and speak to someone who actually gives you an answer.
In fact I am going to stop there as it is a Sunday and I am trying to enjoy the day as I can see a bit of blue sky. Out with the mountain bike and away from all this nonsense
