I'd certainly say it was good progress in the direction of liberalisation but it clearly hasn't gone far enough for some people.
I can't help but detect a slight air of defiance on the CAA's part with this; they've been arguing recently for the removal of the common dioptere limits and obviously this hasn't happened within the latest amendment. The wording implied within the JAR amendment states that candidates above a limit should be able to satisfy the authority with higher levels of correction. The CAA simply state that there are no renewal limits, which makes me chuckle. I hope it's a sign of the CAA's determination to eventually remove most of the limits that seem to have little relevance in determining a candidate's fitness to fly safely.
