The Joint Aviation Authorities ceased to exist on 30 June 2009 yet my very recently, i.e. weeks not months or years, renewed licence states Joint Aviation Authorities Flight Crew Licence.
The JAA may not exist, but JAR-FCL does, and it is against this document that the CAA issues licences therefore; there is no remit to change it to anything else until the Law changes i.e. EASA FCL. As EASA will grandfather JAA licences, the transition should be quite straightforward. Not the same as renaming a department and then failing to amend their own website.

The communication issued on 19 Feb included reference to CAP 428 but that has since disappeared from the website:
The CAA has announced that, subject to a change to the Air Navigation Order (ANO) planned for Spring 2010, flying training will be allowed to take place at unlicensed aerodromes. Once the change to the ANO has been made by the Department for Transport, flight training at unlicensed airfields will be possible for fixed-wing aircraft up to 2,730kg Maximum Take-Off Mass (MTOM) and Helicopters and Gyroplanes up to 3,175kg MTOM.
The responsibility for ensuring an airfield is fit for training will be taken on by flying instructors and aerodrome operators. To assist them the CAA will be revising its document, CAP428 Safety Standards at Unlicensed Aerodromes, to include guidance on how to assess whether an airfield is suitable for training.
