I would appreciate some help from any ppruners with better current knowledge than me of UK police ops and aerial work.
I've been studying the following document (and the ANO) and I cannot see why UK police air support units with their own directly employed pilots and policemen as passengers must be "public transport" operations. Surely its aerial work? (Like the directly employed electricity inspection operations)
www.caa.co.uk/docs/122/summary_of_public_transport.pdf
(...and if its aerial work then there would be no age 60 single pilot limitation? .........on the other hand there wouldn't be an FTL!)
Also does anyone know if the insurance companies hike up owners’ premiums (in an ageist way!) for post age 60 pilots doing aerial work?
