Stripped of the dreadful jargon-ridden, ungrammatical verbiage it is telling everyone to get back to teaching and practising basic flying skills.
Isn't it?
Sadly, the grammatical construction of this SN is pretty typical of the debased level of English employed by a UK civil service no longer dedicated to the maintenance of those standards which once were the hallmark of a splendid institution. This is but an extension of the lamentable quality of teaching currently to be found in the British maintained education system.
It seems inevitable that the lack of regard for proper communication demonstrated by this Notice will be reflected in a diminished respect for its contents.
