Don't Wish to Lose your Licence?

The latest from the Stasi

Here and here

Effectively, your licence, and possibly your livelihood, is in the hands of an air traffic controller whose infallibility, as we know, would even make the Pope green with envy.

No due process? No burden of proof? Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Why are pilots being targeted as though they are the terrorists? Why alienate the GA community rather that work with it? Where's my potty ...........

Any thoughts?

Any pilots found to have deliberately infringed the security restrictions will be prosecuted under Article 161 of the Air Navigation Order. This is the same process that occurs today. Their licence will also remain suspended until the CAA’s investigation is complete.
Seems reasonable [my bold]

BTW, "loose" should be "lose"

Sorry about the spelling.

However, as infringements of the security airspace are likely to have a significant impact on other airspace users, the licences of all pilots infringing either the Restricted or Prohibited Zone will be suspended pending an investigation of the incident.
How long will the investigation take? Can't see the Belgrano hurrying themselves over these.

Still happy?

From the CAA Press Release...

Pilots not already in contact with Atlas Control or another ATC agency who believe they may have infringed the Olympics Restricted or Prohibited airspace should immediately contact the Distress and Diversion Cell on 121.5MHz
and...

the licences of all pilots infringing either the Restricted or Prohibited Zone will be suspended pending an investigation of the incident.

If they want pilots to voluntarily admit to entering the Zones (by calling D and D) isnt the second para rather counter productive?
