The easiest thing to do would be for all instructors to unite and refuse to do practice forced landing training until there is full clarification from the UK CAA what is legal/acceptable to do.
However applying the 500ft rule in the UK does mean you can descend to 1ft vertically above the surface provided there are no persons, objects, buildings or vessels within 500ft horizontally, persons buildings or vessels is straight forward but what dictates an object, animals, gateposts, trees ?
