Interesting that the CAA have confirmed the above dc9-32 which does make sense of these useless regulations. However, their information notice of 3rd May should also be the same as above but instead states, 'All Third Country Operators, with aircraft based within the United Kingdom' and this is clearly wrong and should only apply to Operators based in the EU. It has yet to be changed though but clearly can be ignored as it isn't following the garbage they released from EASA earlier in April this year
