You expect people to alter their posts and then go on to threaten that to do so may be an offence? Make your mind up.... There has been minimal moderation of this forum for quite some time to enable people to express their opinion on matters without fear of their words being altered or unduly removed. If you don't like what you are seeing, you are welcome to post a rebuttal and express your opinion. If you want to rattle your sabre, well, you can do that too. Just don't whinge if you get told to stuff off. Like hell you have.

You may notice that Lofty1 has met some criteria that is utilised to detect the "funny people" types that Nev has mentioned and has since departed. For the record, there is no sinister objective to requiring a valid telephone number and e-mail address to have posting access on the forum. It is just one of several mechanisms used to weed out trolls and spammers.

Regulation 2 - Interpretation, 7. For the purposes of these regulations: (....snip) (d) an aircraft that is flying or operating for the purpose of, or in the course of: (....snip) (v) the carriage of persons or the carriage of goods without a charge for the carriage being made other than the carriage, for the purposes of trade, of goods being the property of the pilot, the owner or the hirer of the aircraft; (snip...) shall be taken to be employed in private operations. If you can get esteemed regulator to define exactly what 'for the purposes of trade' actually means in this clause you will have your answer of if you can do it on a PPL. Good luck!

Yup... they're usually not real impressed about being told to 'bash it' when they try the military way of doing things on with the great unwashed. Career bureaucrats don't like it much either....

Aye... there is something not quite right about the story as reported to date.

Too the contrary Motz, there is a lot worth keeping IMHO. This topic is improving awareness of the effects of fatigue, a need for dynamic risk assessment and compliance with DAMPS, among other things, any of which could bite us as recreational flyers. Just need to keep the badge bashing down to a dull roar 'tis all.

How about you mob agree to disagree and move on, otherwise the thread gets locked and a clean up session begins.

The topic has been "stickied" to make it easier to find.

Joke/new rumour about blanket groundings removed before it gets out of hand . Play nice please.

...things harder than cottonwool balls to hurl at the enemy when the revolution begins." LoxGuevara was aware that the revolution would be a battle to the death of a thousand of papercuts as anything even slightly resembling a threat to the beast had been outlawed and banned or taxed into oblivion.
