The rules are all submitted to ICAO for approval, and all authorities are periodically audited for compliance and competences by an international ICAO team. I'm not sure the interval on the audits, but suspect that has quite a complex "it depends" type answer.

No other LAPL privilege restrictions apply to them.

'Similar' in the SkyWise announcement wasn't intended to mean 'the same'; however, I've asked that in order to prevent confusion and false accusations of gold plating, the SkyWise announcement should be amended for clarification.


I just had reason to revisit this.

Guess what, Skywise still hasn't been amended.
