Age and flying
Well it has been ... our dear Uncle Ian did just that a few years ago. I attended several days of the hearing in Kingsway where a solo Ian put forward a truly impressive case backed by enough supporting and sensible facts to fill the room. Yet the Industrial Tribunal stuck their head in the sand for a few months until someone higher up told them to reject Ian's case .... anyone got a cool fifty grand to take the case on at the highest level.

100 contribute £500
Dennis if you are serious about a challenge, I suggest that the pilot community could pull together & raise the £50k legal fee cost.
I pledge £500, assuming you do the same - we now need 98 others to commit.

EASA Aerial Work.
Anyone know why it's taking CAA till 2017 to fall in line with rest of Europe regarding classification of Aerial Work?
My understanding is that elsewhere, everything apart from passenger charter falls into AW rather than CAT.
Once that's in place, filming, photography, survey etc can be flown AW, even with employees of film company/surveyor/utilities or whatever on board.
That would put a smile on my wrinkly face.
Strange that it's taking them so long to sign it off, when I understand that some of the companies have had the new AW manual ready for approval since last year.
Is 65 the upper age limit then, or is it as long as a valid medical is held?

The age limit for all commercial flying will remain 65 in EASA land.
HEMS , apart from SAR, also is CAT, even if the patients dont charter the helicopter
