Since then we have seen other cost sharing schemes try to use the airfield and have banned Wingly flights as a result. I just hope that the CAA will have more teeth to tackle this activity.
One real issue is that highlighted by your other thread regarding supervision. The real question is when or how does prosecution of a regulation get affect by guidance? The CAA are not helped by their executive willingness to accept their funding model which by the nature of their work is unsustainable.
Just like the issues highlighted with display flying via Shoreham and issues with Wingly type flights are well known before any high profile fatal accident brings matters to the attention of a wider audience.
