The video is professionally produced but silly. Over many decades it is true that the CAA Investigations/Prosecution section has behaved appallingly. I have crossed swords with them on more occasions than I care to remember. In defence of others I have witnessed them lying, deceiving and cajoling people into incriminating themselves. They are not people to cooperate with beyond that which the law demands. Name and number (sic) but no more.

Having said all that strong stuff this is not true of the other CAA's more professional departments who always seek to resolve matters in a spirit of cooperation and common sense when a pilot has erred. These people, I have to say, again from experience, work very hard to keep issues away from the 'Rottweilers' if they can and pragmatically seek to resolve matters constructively, from which everyone learns.
