I suspect they will be sneaking licence requirements through with Part-NCC?? Why else would they only delay until August?
If you read IN-2016/041 you will see it is only binding to UK airspace... my question now is, we have say France who have not delayed and you want to fly from the UK to Spain... is your flight through France now illegal because you do not hold a validation/Part-FCL?? same applies to a tech stop in France.
The CAA are telling me if you have a SAFA check (lets say now after August 25th) and do not have a validation or Part-FCL.... your plane
will be detained until the crew have a relevant validation/licence....
