§ 6. Air-Commodore Harveyasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation if he is satisfied that the pilot's B licences in night-flying test, as laid down, are reasonable; and, in view of what happened to the four pilots carrying out these tests on 15th January, r947, if he will review the whole matter.
§ Mr. LindgrenThe night-flying tests for a pilot's B licence, which are laid down by paragraph 99(1)(f) of the Air Navigation Directions, 1936, are under review.
§ Air-Commodore HarveyWill the hon. Gentleman bear in mind the fact that the tests now laid down are out of date, are useless, and are dangerous to the pilots?
§ Mr. LindgrenThe tests which were given up to a little while ago have been discontinued pending the review which is going on. All that is now required are night take-offs and night landings, under the supervision of a staff pilot of the Ministry.
