Foxmoth....good comment.
Up & Away ...... The reason this restriction was placed was that the mother, CAFCASS officer and barrister wrongly considered flight instruction as dangerous. But it is odd the instructor can fly unrestricted with his children as PAX.
Whopity....... I quite a agree but the learned barrister thinks all documents are from the UK CAA, and she isn't aware of a Permit to fly or what what a C of A consists of.
In conclusion, I think it is best to proceed as follows:
(a) Wait until the next hearing.
(b) Point out the relevant section of the ANO, and the mother is not deemed an authorised person and the mother is qualified to identify the documents.
(c) That all training would be under a FTO or RF, and hence they are required to ensure that all training is above board. The instructor is a RF in his own right apparently.
(d) Point out that the mother is using this as a time wasting exercise.
(e) The matter is really down to the children's wishes and feelings.
