due to health and safety, vetting issues and the fact that the pilots are non-AEF, RAF or dont hold an ATPL.
Don't need an ATPL - do need a DBS clearance (and so they should), but don't have to be AEF/RAF.

Please look at the current rules, which I hear have just been changed - is it ACTI or ACTO 30-something - 34 or 35? The pilots don't even need to be FIs for Air Experience.

And just which bits of Health & Safety would you have them ignore????

B Word

I still wonder where the pilots for that will come from unless there is a change of rules?
Hmmm - fewer Vigis, more Tutors - there's a logical answer there somewhere..... And they're RAF/ACO rules, so they could be changed.

But that's far too logical!
