Bose well done again but I have to take one issue
Every member of the working group has been very commited to this process, this includes the CAA representatives who contrary to opinion are very dedicated to the GA cause and were very active and supportive to the aims.
Now whilst I know some very good people within the CAA who I have found very helpful there is a contradiction that is inexcusable:
1. The lack of a PPL/IR has been a thorn for a very very long time, in fact since shortly after I started flying when it was relatively easy (and that was along time ago). For wahtever reason the CAA has chosen to do nothing about it until now,
2. The mode S issue is a complete mess with an apparent lack of understanding of the issues on the part of the CAA (and I dont claim they are wrong in what they have sought to achieve, but they have made a complete hash with the way they have gone about it),
3. The recent farce over liferaft, EPIRBS etc - they should have seen that coming.
They may well be GA friendly, but (and I am trying to be kind) thay also seem to be an organisation in which the right hand is struggling to talk to the left
