Having read the report I wonder if the BMAA can survive if it does not make very major changes to it’s procedures and even bigger changes to it’s culture to ensure that they are followed.
Let us hope that the new Chief Inspector is able to pull this off. Without the BMAA we wouldn't have had any worthwhile microlights in the UK at all, and they are all that many of us can afford to fly.
It is worth considering just how rare in-flight break-up is these days, even with the weaknesses in the inspection regime which the report identified. After all, even Public Transport cat machines fall apart sometimes (engines falling off Boeings, tails off Airbus, cargo doors off McDonald Douglas, and a big fire aboard Concorde, for instance
)
