Thanks for *clearing up the confusion* (Laughs hysterically) Mike. By the way I
do not fly power.
That "Whoooshing sound" you heard when you read my post, was the sound of my
attempt at humour passing over your head(-:
So to keep it clear. <Joke alert>
Dont know what you thought I meant , but I was simply reflecting on the
incredibly complicated language
used in the regulations.
I sometimes wonder if CASA employ a special department to make it so difficult
to understand! Obsufication section perhaps?
One (fictional) day at CASA HQ;
"Damn it, Algernon, I understand these new regs, send it off to the
Obsufication section quick-and tell them not to send it back until no-one but
CASA can understand it"(-:
Got to live up to the CASA motto,
"Were not happy till your not happy!" )-:
Regards
Dave
