Above The Clouds
Many thanks for your concise legal input.
Having spent many years defending pilots against the CAA legal department's interpretation of various aspects of the legislation (some even more creative than this) I am extremely grateful for your assistance in statutory interpretation and must remember to use the expression "Utter Bo**ocks" more often in court.
Level Attitude has the point.
Please let us be clear, what many of us do in the air and what the ANO says maybe two very different matters but consider what would happen if, unless you hold an instructor rating, your aircraft crashes whilst a family member is practicing a landing. You think that your insurers and the CAA will give the ANO the same interpretation as you? Good luck on that one.
Oh, and duty of care? Well I am currently defending a pilot being tried for manslaughter in respect of an alleged breach of a duty of care and, again, there has been some very interesting and creative interpretations made by the prosecution.
