I think you might be disappointed unless you are prepared to ask some probing questions. The CAA are required to publish a 'publication scheme' that lists all the data they intend to proactively publish. It already exists at on their website and doesn't represent any significant change to the status quo.

I asked the CAA what changes they were anticipating up in order to comply with the requirements of the FoI act. They said: "I do not expect any significant effect on FCL business, the CAA is already an open informative organisation. The Data Protection Act will continue to protect personal information that we hold."

The FoI act also allows them to withold commercially confidential information which is how they have, to date, classified pass rates of individual schools.
