For the Dom, for instance, the CAA could assign credit on the basis
of its excellent safety record elsewhere, and modify, or waive, the UK proof of
quality accordingly.
They have only just lifted the restrictions on the Crickets Fergus, and they have a lot longer accident free record than the Doms ! The history wouldn't really help with sec T.........or hinder it if it had a bad record.
At the risk of being attacked again by Chuck E, I think we view our minority sport as some sort of special case. Any death is tragic but no more so if the machine involved is a flying machine rather than a motorcycle, car, boat, horse etc. We encourage passengers to enjoy the fun in all of these.
I think the restrictions on carrying passengers should be as much about the pilot as the machine.
