500ft Rule
BT
It is written into the CAA AOC of SAR operator, for training and Ops
I do not know about HEMS. I Understand that HEMS has its own JARs section
although JAR OPS 3 does not apply to SAR.

My point is:
a. If a civilian helicopter needs to be low level to carry out his job and
b. needs to transit a MATZ and
c. is required by law to be above 500' agl
then what is he /she to do if a military controller should deny a clearance when in fact a clearance is not a legal requirement? An interesting conundrum.
I do get your point about blindly bumbling around in an active MATZ, very very stupid I agree. However, just to add another dimension, how do you square the circle of gliders without radios flying in an active MATZ, do they not operate without clearances?

Max, I know of plenty of MATZs where gliding sites operate close to the boundaries and some MATZs where gliding takes place when normal ops have ceased but I haven't seen non-resident (for want of a better term) gliders routinely penetrating MATZs without prior arrangement or normal clearance.
If they are doing it then they are barking and show very poor airmanship.
I think the real answer to cyclically's problem is the 6 Ps or is it 7?
