Can you imagine the effect on the industry if the CAA were to close, or severely curtail the activities of FLS?
It'll probably never happen. This is the problem with an agency that supports and regulates the industry. It doesn't work.
It should be made a part of the Department of Transport. The FAA and NTSB are both part of the US Dept. of Transport. There is no reason why the CAA and AAIB should not come under the same umbrella.
