GA is not just recreation for some this is a means of transport that avoids congestion on public transport i.e long distance rail travel now flybe has collapsed.

For flying instructors and many companies and their staff GA is their means of earning a living. Its their means of paying the bills putting food on the table and contributing to taxation without which ultimately there will be no public services at all in the future.

We have had seven weeks of lock down during which time the CAA could have got themselves in step with Government policy and provided leadership on restarting flying.

The CAA are now 72 hours astern of station in terms of being in compliance with a Prime Ministerial directive to get back to work.
