First of all - there can only be one set of 'rules of the air'. The 2007 rules have been replaced by SERA. There is a listing on the CAA website of what are referred to as 'retained rules' left overs of the 2007 rules of the air that the CAA has decided to retain. Booking out is not one of them!


As for most of the other comments, there is a massive lack of logic - I have a 760 channel radio, a mode c transponder, a PLB and a mobile phone.

If I need anyone to know where I am I have 4 methods which pinpoint me. I fly in the highlands and believe me there are many, many more people in the hills than you would think. One accident I am aware of the pictures were posted on the internet before the guys even got back to the airfield.....

Booking out is a classic 'small persons' response to a near non-existant problem.
