Have a look at the
this document.
Notice the heading “
Our Vision – We want the UK to be seen as the best place in the world for aviation”.
Under Contents it says, “
The Government’s vision for the GA sector.”
Another half-page heading says “
We want the UK to be seen as the best place in the world for GA”, and mentions “
proportionate risk-based and consistent approach to regulation that delivers high quality safety outcomes.”
This is obviously being driven by the UK leaving the European Union. Also the UK CAA has nothing similar to our wording that their regulator “must regard the safety of air navigation as the most important consideration.”
This is wording from the UK CAA Act:
“… provide air transport services which satisfy… public demand at the lowest charges consistent with a high standard of safety… and an economic return to efficient operators…”
I reckon we all have to get together and make sure that Australia is the best place for general aviation – not the UK, the USA, Canada or anywhere else. Do I have any supporters?
