Here's a question. Whilst compiling my response letter, I looked through the list of names on the Circulation List the CAA attached to the Letter of Consultation.
The main reason why they have so far not had many responses would appear to be that they have entirely failed to circulate this thing to the correct target - private owners and self fly hirers. Their list is entirely composed of AOC holders and other bodies with little interest in the subject.
Aren't the CAA demanded by statute to ensure that their Consulations get to the right people ? They have the home address of every PPL (H) and the address of every registered single engine machine........so why haven't those people received Consultation letters ?
I also question the QUALITY of the data used to form their circulation list. One of the companies listed is KWIK FIT HOLDINGS PLC. This hasn't existed since 1999 when (Sir) Tom Farmer sold out to Ford Motor Company.
Do we have any way of questioning how this list was compiled ???
