So now TC is asking what the Spanish rules are?
Good question!
Shame he didn't think of it before. At the beginning of the thread he was all for reporting the German 109 pilot to the CAA!!

We start off with some knowall PPL saying the 109 pilot did an illegal landing but then when he's asked to substantiate his allegation he can't and disappears.
TC says the PPL should have 'debriefed' the pilot and if he wasn't satisfied with the explanation, "I would then report them to the CAA."
I can see it now. "Excuse me, I'm a helicopter pilot. I've got a PPL. I fly R22s. I want to debrief you about that landing you've just done." Wonder what the Spanish (or German) is for 'P*ss Off!'

Some heli pilots are far keen on condemning other pilots. Even if the 109 guy was pushing his luck, so what? No harm was done.
Reporting other pilots sucks.

PS
JonnyG has already been asked to tell us the Spanish rules. All he could manage was that he always flies "on the 500ft rule" which has got naff all to do with landing or taking off.
Perhaps he's still looking it up.
