Not so much the CAA, rather JAR/EASA (don't get me started about that whole heap of steaming turd). However the CAA ostensibly looks after UK civil aviation and we pay them enough so they are the ones upon whose doorstep the whole sorry mess lies in the first instance. I do hear rumblings about UK-only instructor ratings on an NPPL, but that's all they are at present. CAA - get a move on and f*ck JAR! By the time those tossers have sorted anything out a) it will be in French and b) we could have had 6,000 instructors trained and at a fraction of the cost and double the quality.
Oh and if I haven't made myself clear - SOD OFF JAA and EUROPE!
(where aviation regulation is concerned, not food and wine....of course
. Or women
).
