To our surprise there were quite a number of our recommendations that could be implemented directly by the CAA and more that had to have EASA approval. Once the head of PLD has responded we will have a better idea on what will be implemented and the time-scales for this. My hope is within the 6 months. As a working group we have tried to take an even and pragmatic look at what can be achieved and tried to steer clear of the contentious areas that would just bog us down. The CAA representatives on the group have provided fantastic input with a clear desire to see the changes made so this process has been truly collaborative.
There is actually recommendations around the FAA and IMCR ratings that were developed during the process. At the moment there is a split on whether they should be included or not. I am for them being included. So stand by for an answer on them!
