is incorrect, I've been advised - it'd only be a simple paperwork exercise.
Can you point us to the published reference for that? Can't seem to find it in CAP 804 or on the CAA website.
CAP1441 doesn't even concur with the CAA's own website, clubs are refusing to rent aircraft to 'self certified' pilots and we are now hearing that insurers are refusing cover.
ANO 2016 renders an EASA Part-FCL licence with medical self-declaration valid as if it were a national licence for use in UK airspace. The CAA have published their interpretation of the legislation in CAP 1441 which permits this. Whatever internal discussions might or might not be going on, I just don't see the problem with exercising privileges as published by the CAA.
Which insurer(s) has/have refused cover?
