…and as a point of interest British (and probably other nations too) military pilots do not even hold licenses! Unless they chose to go out individually at their own cost and get a civilian license they are not allowed to rent a club Cessna!

A friend of mine is ATC at ORY.
All what I can tell is that military don’t give a damn sh*t about civil airtransport.

Hello mongu,
All military aircraft are what is called a “state aircraft” according to the ICAO classification. The reason they are not registered like normal aircraft is the fact that they are exemt from all airworthiness requirements and do not have to conform to International Air Law in their operation. This means they can do what ever they like and are not bound by normal air law. However there is a clause in the Chicago Convention stating “military aircraft shall however show due consideration to civil airtransport”
NO military has an AOC. AOC stands for Air Operators Certificate. Only companies engaged in Civil Air Transport Operations have an AOC. To get an AOC you have to meet stringent rules and are monitored by the local CAA. Stringent rules and monitoring are the last thing any military wants.
Hope this answears your question.
