What I meant was that during their application process they "failed", normally due to fitness/co ordination issues or the like, after all you can't expect anyone to belive people ACTUALLY apply to be Nav's

In general the PA was instructors from the Nav and Air Eng school - once I remember OC Air Nav School closing the right hand throttle instead of selecting full flap on final...

Every other 125 in the European JAA world is required to have a 2 pilot crew
What makes the Dominie so different? Are there any other twin turbojet transport type aircraft flying with only one pilot?

The Dominie is not operated under JAA regulations. It is a military aircraft operated under a MAR that allows operation by single pilot plus PA. The RAF 125 is regarded as a different type, but is still operated under a MAR (that requires 2 pilots) however it is similarly not subject to JAA regulations and can therefore be fitted with equipment that would preclude civil certification. The MoD can choose to operate to JAA regulations as a 'best practice' model but is responsible for certifying it's own ac under MAR and I don't believe that JAA has any regulatory over-sight of this process. This explains why, for example, some military transport ac do not have EGPWS, even though it has been a required fit by the JAA and it's pre-cursors for many years.

We used to be able to ferry the Puma just as a single pilot, as long as you left the gear down.
Could you not be trusted to put them down before landing?
