Flying Equipment requirements??
Ladies & Gentlemen,
A good friend of mine recently advised me that, under current regulations, there is a requiremnt for anyone flying an ex military aircraft on a permit to wear the correct flying clothing ie flying suit etc. Can anyone shed some light on this for me please? Thank you and kind regards The Swinging Monkey |
Why let the truth get in the way of a good rumour?
Annex E of CAP632 (Operation of 'Permit to Fly' Ex-Military Aircraft on the UK register) details appropriate levels of flying clothing, but bear in mind this is for aircraft with a MAUW of 2730kg or more. It can be found here: CAP632 So dont panic if you are flying a Piper Cub:ok: |

or a Tiger Moth. However, in the latter case, clothing to ensure a reasonable level of comfort and warmth are definite requirements - which tends to gravitate towards getting the original kit. |
Shorts and T-shirt? No helmet?!:eek:
Have you any idea how dangerous that is?! You'll be wanting to start the engine with your bare hands next ;). I may have to report you to EArSA or whatever it's called right away. Aircraft are there as a focus for regulation, not to be enjoyed as you wheel around the sky, dancing with the clouds... Sorry, got carried away there. Now, where's my red tape... |
Sounds like the classic case of a club setting some perfectly sensible safety rules for that club, and somebody getting the message that this was law, rather than just a local regulations.

Thank you everyone for your inputs.
I don't have avery strong view either way, although I do lean (slightly) towards wearing the correct kit if possible. Kind rergards TSM |
