From the report:
Schedule 7 of CAP 393, ‘Air Navigation: The Order and the Regulations ’ further restricts the holder of a Private Pilot’s Licence (Aeroplanes) (PPL(A)) without any instrument rating to a minimum flight visibility of 3 km outside controlled airspace.
No it doesn't! A JAA pilot licence became an EASA licence in Sept 2012 and the 3 Km restriction and all reference to JAA licence privileges were removed from the ANO in 2012 Pleased to see even the AAIB can't keep up with all the changes!
