It is to me.

CAP 804 is for reference only. AMC1 FCL.050 reads: (2) co-pilot flight time: the holder of a pilot licence occupying a pilot seat as co-pilot may log all flight time as co-pilot flight time on an aircraft on which more than one pilot is required under the type certification of the aircraft, or the r...

This:

There is no such thing as a P2 in single pilot aircraft. Since you are confused about that, is it possible you might also be confused about solo?

Does this make the discrepancy in the quotes clearer, Chris? Roger Hopkinson's reported suggestion in the article that the 2016 vote was "influenced by proxy voting" Roger Hopkinson, the president of the LAA, rejects claims that the decision to rescind the Woodhams Trophy was influenced by proxy vot...

Interestingly the descriptive quote about the LAA as "the old men’s club of British light aviation" which appeared in the online article in The Times this morning has now been edited out. I wonder why? I am concerned by Roger Hopkinson's reported suggestion in the article that the 2016 vote was "in...

This decree is quite clear.
