In June 2014, the CAA circulated to the GA Partnership Group a proposal on the relaxation of the 90-day recency rule for passenger carriage for national (non Part-FCL / non JAR-FCL) pilot licence holders only. The proposal, using so-called 'informed consent' principles, would allow a second qualified pilot to elect to join the flight whilst recency is regained.
Feedback from industry was unsupportive.
But the CAA has now released ORS4 No. 1087 which sanctions precisely what industry didn't support. I do hope that they won't try to trumpet this as another 'quick win'.
