Are they really needing the additional revenue at the CAA from a few aircraft registrations and pilot ratings/licences or are they saying that the FAA registration results in a lower level of safety ?
The brief discussion for instance conveniently ignores the actual cost of obtaining a UK IR and instead mentions the £100 paperwork cost of adding it to your licence.
Why should aircraft from another JAA state be excluded as the same issues of non visibility exist - if that is really the issue
My money says they will force it through, against all logic, and drive yet another nail into the coffin of aviation.
