DC3 Goodbye tour (UK)

[expat]

What?!  Anyone with a link to more info on this?

Both as an aeronautical engineer to be and a DC3 nut I'd kind of like to see if theres ANY logic behind this!

Pity, hopefully it doesn't catch on in the us, I still havent flown on a Dak!

There's very little logic in many European regulations.

A Word About Safety
It's worth stressing at this point that we're fully committed to anything that makes flying safer - as our safety record demonstrates. The EU-OPS legislation is well-intentioned, but it lays down requirements that are impossible or impractical for vintage aircraft.

Fitting oxygen masks to an aircraft that never flies high enough to use them, or equipping it with chutes to deliver passengers to the ground four feet below the exit door would be prohibitively expensive - even if the items were available.  And these are just an example.

Sadly, from July 15th, we have to withdraw the Daks from passenger flying

This is from http://www.airatlantique.co.uk/ it doesn't tell you much about all the changes needed but as said before the cockpit would have to be locked etc.

Hopefully, even if it is after 15 July this year, common sense will eventually prevail.
