SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED
Last week I received a letter from CAA. A quick scan indicated it involved renewing current aircraft information. Apparently 2 years is all they can remember. Never mind, I thought, it's nice to receive a CAA letter which doesn't contain threats of penalties. However closer scrutiny has lead to severe disappointment. There was the threat contained in regulation 47.050, for non-compliance. Has any ppruner EVER received a CAA letter that didn't contain penalty threats? Even a Christmas party invitation?
Frank correctly advocates deleting the S for Safety from their name. I suggest also deleting the C for Civil, as I've never yet receive a civil letter from them. I think AA would be a most appropriate acronym, considering how drunk with power they are.
