Fly/op, The Annex2 referred to can be found under EASA regulations,and generally refers to aircraft that may be ex-mil,for which there is not a `type rating` available,so ,one has to have an `Exemption` from the ANO to fly them. The operation of such aircraft is governed by `CAP632`,the CAA Document which specifies the hoops and loops that one has to jump thru` to fly such aircraft.So I would suggest a thorough read to understand it.It defines the criteria for minimum hours,training syllabus by an `acceptable `organisation,bearing in mind that there are several such groups /organisations in the UK,acceptable instructors,technical exams and flight tests,whilst one has a `Training` Exemption.Only after that can one apply for a full Exemption. However,one can do a couple of `familiarisation` sorties(which can be counted`),where one can be assessed as to attitude,enthusiasm,ability,personality,etc to fly such aircraft.They are not,`flipflop and t-shirt` environments...you wear the approved mil.safety equipment and understand mil.style rules,especially in aircraft with live ejection seats/parachutes.
Whilst some may denigrate the `horrid J-P`Jet Provost`,I think given an opportunity ,they would be ever-so-grateful for a trip in one now!!
At the present time,I would suggest you concentrate on getting your PPL,and getting experience and `awaremanship` about all aspects of flying,to the best of your ability,and wish you well.....Syc....
